Sedes Sapientiae. Mosan Enthroned Virgin
Large Virgin and Child in oak from the end of the 13th century or the beginning of the 14th century. The plasticity of the faces and of Christ evokes the 13th century (the face of the Virgin evokes the face of the Romanesque Sedes Sapientiae of Seron) while the drapes of the Virgin's dress announce the following century. Marie, with her beautiful oval face, is seated on a throne bench. Mosan Virgins are rarer in collections than their southern European counterparts. Remains of polychromy and gilding. Scooped back with hook closure. Provenance: Christie's
