Description

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
