FRENCH MASTER (14TH CENTURY)

This stone statue of a saint was created in France in the mid-14th century. The figure stands in contrapposto and is garbed in a flowing dress and long coat, on which can be seen remnants of polychrome. Her hair is largely covered by her veil, her eyes are close-set and gaze downwards. In her right hand, the saint holds a chest with clasps and linearly outlined figures. Her left hand is raised in a gesture of blessing.
