Rare polychromy

This Virgin and Childwas created in Catalonia inthe 14th-century. It reflects a transitional period marked by the gradual assimilation of the Gothic style into a local Romanesque tradition (M.Bertrand). Standing 109cmtall, it is carved from wood and polychromed. Seated on a throne-like bench, Mary holds a piece of fruit in her right hand and her Son, who is seated, on one knee. She wears a crown resting on a veil and is dressed in a gown and a cloak, one panel of which falls over the front, forming beak-shaped folds. Jesus raises his right arm in a gesture of blessing, holding a closed book. The estimatedpurchase price is€6, 000–8,000at the auction on Monday ,November 16 ,in Dijon (Sadde Hôtel des ventes).
