- Lot Description
Western Europe, probably British, French, or Low Countries, ca. 1400 to 1600 CE. A gorgeous wooden carving of an elite woman wearing a sumptuous cape around her simple dress. Her surface is coated with a thin, brown gesso that was perhaps a base for brighter pigment. She wears a wimple over her hair, a sign of marriage in medieval Europe, which has been carved as one with the fur-lined cape. In one hand she holds her cape drapery to her stomach, and in the other holds a small flower to her breast. Atop her wimple is a crown or coronet, a style of headgear that was not restricted to royalty at the time; noble women wore them as part of their formal dress, and depictions of the Virgin Mary often show Her wearing one. She stands in one piece atop an integral pedestal that once bore painted lettering, perhaps a Latin inscription within a floral border. Size: 4.6" L x 5.625" W x 23.25" H (11.7 cm x 14.3 cm x 59.1 cm)
Provenance: private J.H. collection, Beaverton, Oregon, USA, acquired in September 2017; ex-Artemis Gallery; ex-private San Francisco, California, USA collection
