Sobre la escultura
The image of St Anne with the Virgin and Child was especially popular in the late Middle Ages. It was known as the' Anna Selbdritt' in Germany and' Anna-te-Drieën' in the Netherlands. St Anne holds the young Virgin on her lap with her right hand. The crowned Virgin in turn holds the Christ Child around the waist with her left hand. In her right hand she holds a bunch of grapes, which is a symbol of the blood of Christ.

This piece shows the small figures of the Virgin and Child perched on St Anne's lap. The earliest examples of this composition date from the late 1400s. Most of the surviving pieces were made in the 15th and 16th centuries. These three-figure groups were made as a single religious image. From the 1400s onwards the group was often part of a larger composition known as the Holy Kindred or 'Heilige Maagschap' .This showed St Anne as a young woman with the Virgin and Christ Child. It also included St Anne's three husbands, and her three daughters with their husbands and children.
