Virgin and Child in limestone carved in round... - Lot 24 - Pierre Bergé & Associés
Virgin and Child in limestone carved in round hump. Slightly wiggled, her chest thrown back, she carries the Child sitting on her left arm; wide, triangular face with eyes stretched towards the temples with prominent eyeballs and mouth with thin lips; hair with wide waves and curls rolled over the temples; it is covered with a veil falling in the back with cascading pleats, a long dress with a simple rounded neckline, tightened at the waist by a goldsmith belt whose long end goes down on the front, and a coat whose open sides are held by a double lace on the chest; the Child is dressed in a long tunic with a collar closed by a row of small buttons. Lorraine, Toul, around 1360 Height: 103 cm (missing the right hand of the Virgin and the hands of the Child, small restoration in front of the Virgin) This beautiful Virgin is related to the statuary art of Lotharingie and more precisely to a workshop in Toulouse from the third quarter of the 14th century. It can indeed be compared to a Virgin and Child, kept at the Municipal Museum of Sarrebourg (guest no. 1596) and to a Saint Anne Trinitaire from a private collection in Charmes-sur-Moselle, which includes certain common characteristics, particularly in the curls wrapped around the temples, the treatment of the hands, the long end of the belt decorated with cabochons, the opening of the coat with slightly undulating edges to the collar of the Child closed by a row tightened by buttons. Book consulted: J. A. Schmoll dit Eisenwerth, Die Lothringische Skulptur des 14. Jahrunderts, Petersberg, 2005, cat. 425 and 439.
