QUIMPER-HENRIOT. "VIRGIN AND CHILD" earthenware figurine. The crowned Virgin Mary, dressed in a long blue cloak, holds the infant Jesus in her arms; the molded base is inscribed with "St. VIRGIN." Marked HB HENRIOT Quimper, 63 cm These statuettes are known as “Vierges d’accoucheée” (or “Vierges accoucheuses”) because of their protective and ritualistic role during home births in the 18th and 19th centuries. Since the Virgin Mary was considered the patron saint of expectant mothers, these objects of popular devotion—particularly those produced by the pottery workshops in Quimper, Nevers, and Rennes—were specifically designed to accompany the process of childbirth.
