Enthroned Virgin and Child

Limewood with paint and gilding

Bohemian, Prague, ca. 1345-50

The Cloisters Collection, 1965

The position of the figures and the Child's hand raised in blessing suggest that, originally, the Three Magi approached them from the left. The Virgin's girlish face, ringed with curls, is typical of Bohemian images of the mid-fourteenth century.
