Virgin and Child

This relief which is broken irregularly round the edge, shows the Virgin in half-length, in profile to the right holding the Child against her left shoulder. The Child's head is turned in three-quarter face to the right and his left hand rests on the Virgin's neck. The Virgin's hair is brown and she wears a pale blue cloak fastened with a brooch at her right shoulder, over a red dress. A number of versions of this relief exist including an example in Berlin. The composition which cannot be attributed to a known hand, seems to date from the third quarter of the fifteenth century.
