Virgin and Child

French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 304

This elegant sculpture reflects aspects of both contemporary ivories and monumental sculpture, especially the refined, yet supple drapery and the delicate facial features. Originally painted, the figure would probably have been housed within a small architectural tabernacle.
