About the sculpture
This statuette of carved boxwood is by an unknown artist from the Netherlands from ca. 1400-1410.
The Virgin stands on an integrally-carved socle, dressed in a capacious mantle which covers her head and is pulled across her body, creating a series of curving folds.
The statuette is a reduced member, with slight modifications of style, of a small group of stone sculptures of the Virgin and Child related to the well known Virgin of the north portal of Saint-Martin at Halle (Hal) of about 1400-10.
