About the sculpture
This limewood figure of a Virgin is made by an unknown artist in Swabia (Ulm) in ca. 1510-1520.
The figure is fully carved in the round, and would probably have formed part of a crucifixion group in the crowning superstructure of an altarpiece.
The stylistic features and the scheme of the drapery can indeed be associated with sculptures from the workshop of Niklaus Weckmann (active in Ulm about 1490 to about 1530)
