Virgin about to breast-feed the Infant Jesus
One of the most valuable elements of Saint-Martin's collection is a little statue (barely 13 inches) from the second half of the XVIth century representing the Virgin about to breast-feed the Infant Jesus. Though its polychromy disappeared, this statue still keeps its preciosity through the great delicacy of the details of the costume and hands, and also the slight exaggeration of the posture.
