Vierge à l'enfant sculptée par Geoffroy-Dechaume, chantier de la cathédrale Notre-Dame, Paris (Madonna and Child, sculpted by Geoffroy-Dechaume, Notre-Dame Cathedral, Paris)

Auguste Mestral

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a woman holding an infant in her left arm. The woman wears a crown and flowing robes, holding a scroll in her right hand. The child appears wrapped in cloth. The material seems to be stone or marble, with a light color that accentuates the craftsmanship details. The sculpture is placed outdoors, surrounded by wood and stones. Stone figures are partially visible in the background. Both figures have calm expressions, conveying a timeless and stable presence.
