This Virgin and Child is wearing clothes with a limited number of folds and showing a thickness characteristic of the Burgundy region. As a result of the presence in the region of the Flemish sculptor Claus Sluter<\/b>, realizing in Dijon \u201cThe Well de Moses\u201d and the decoration of the Chartreuse of Champmol, flourishes a very characteristic art, kept alive by few great artists who have succeed on achieving the tombs of the dukes of Burgundy, Philippe III the Bold and John the Fearless<\/b>, such Claus de Werve<\/b> his nephew who died before he found the necessary stones, but realized a large number of works in the region, and also Jean de la Huerta or Antoine le Moiturier.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Virgin is standing on a squared base. The swaying hips of the Virgin is motivated by the Child carried in her hand on her right hip. She is covered by a large heavy cloth coat, of ancient red polychromy with a folded collar and pulled away from the body by the left arm, leaving visible the blue belt-less dress which marks her slim waist.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Virgin wears a short veil that covers the front of the face as the mourners of the tomb of Philippe III the Bold in Dijon, but it still leaving the face visible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two beautiful long strands of hair with large waves frame her face with regular features and eyes downcast. The expression is soft and melancholic.<\/span><\/p>\n

The back of the sculpture is carved and marked by some folds, proving it was designed to be autonomous.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Child Jesus is depicted profile view. He wears a long tunic with long sleeves. He holds a phylactery in his left hand while his right index finger designates a sentence that was supposed to be read on the scroll. It is especially in Burgundy that we find some Virgin and Child where Jesus holds a phylactery without being able to decypher the written text.<\/span><\/p>\n
