Probably Brabant around 1450/1460

A figure of the Virgin and Child, presumably Brabant, around 1450/60

Wood, carved three-quarters in the round, the reverse flattened. With older polychromy. Designed for a frontal viewpoint, the Virgin Mary is shown in slight contrapposto, holding the nude Christ Child over Her left hip. She wears a veil with a decorative clasp over Her head and a red gown that falls in gentle folds about Her body and forms a pleasant contrast to the richly draped golden cloak.
The Virgin's right hand and the right arm and left hand of the Child lost. Losses to the left side and wear throughout. Height 35 cm.
