Carved limestone Virgin and Child. Standing with her head turned to the right, the Virgin carries the naked Child on her right arm, her left hand resting on her chest; a veil covers her head, leaving her hair visible at the temples; she is dressed in a robe that follows her body, forming crumpled folds; square terrace. Second half of 17th century H. 98 cm (Child's skull cap restored, Child's right arm and foot missing) The artist of this beautiful sculpture offers a very personal representation of the theme of the Virgin and Child, in the image of the Vierge de Saint-Nizier by Coysevox circa 1675. Here, however, the relationship between mother and son is expressed differently, with a sated Child rather than a mother turning her attention away from her son. Works consulted: - A. Maral and V. Caprentier-Vanhaverbeke, Antoine Coysevox (1640-1720): Le sculpteur du Grand Siècle, Paris, 2020, p. 25-26
