Virgin and Child
- история:
- The small size of this intricately carved ivory Madonna and Child indicates that it was probably intended for private devotion.
- It was executed at a time when the Virgin's cult was reaching the height of its popularity, and she is fashionably dressed and crowned like a princess.
- Gift of Mrs. Edsel B. Ford, in memory of W.R.Valentiner.

- композиция:
- The crown She wears identifies Her as the Queen of Heaven, and the rose She holds symbolizes Her purity as "a rose without thorns".
