"Virgin And Child, Ivory, 17th Century. "
Virgin standing with Child, carrying the Child Jesus. She is dressed in a tunic, cinched at the waist by a thin belt and covered with a coat placed on her narrow shoulders. The drape is supple and natural and follows the lines of the body. Under a short veil hiding her hair, her face is outlined with fine, regular features, a straight nose, almond-shaped eyes, and thin lips. The Child Jesus holds a globe in his hands. The face of Christ shows a great resemblance to that of his mother. He gives a slight smile. France
