Over de sculptuur

The Virgin is shown embracing the Christ Child while seated on a folding chair, reflecting a throne. This image of mother and son is close to the style of Ghiberti’s workshop, where the young Donatello worked in about 1404–7. The lyrical sway of the Virgin reflects the graceful manner of the older master. Another similar group is in the Detroit Institute of Arts. Both groups are given by some scholars to the young Donatello.
