Her head is surrounded by a high flowered crown which rests on a mid-length veil, her face framed by wavy hair with almond-shaped eyes, a small mouth and a round chin. She is dressed in a dress with a simple neckline and a coat, one side of which falls on the front like an apron, deep folds of the dress falling gently on the ground, wavy and layered falls under the arms. Mosan? Second third of the 14th century. Height: 75.5 cm. (small accidents at the crown) Expert: Cabinet Fligny Paris.
