Virgin and Child

French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 305

Regally enthroned and crowned as Queen of Heaven, the Virgin Mary wears contemporary clothing of the noble classes. Her mantle simulates brocade with a fur lining and gilded patterned borders, and her belt is placed high on the bodice following the fashion of the time. The sculpture may have been displayed in a castle chapel, a parish church, or a hospital.
