Description

French, probably Burgundy, late 15th / early 16th century

Saint Agnes

limestone

107cm.; 42⅛in.

While lambs and books are commonly associated with Saint Agnes of Rome, the wimple she wears in the present example is less common. This attribute can be found in late medieval statuary, particularly in the territories of the Duchy of Burgundy.
