St. Margaret of Antioch, North-East France last quarter of the 15th century

Chiselled limestone with polychrome residue.

64 × 47 × 35 cm

This sculpture constitutes one of the best-preserved and highest-quality examples of a type of representation that was very common between the end of the Middle Ages and the start of the Renaissance in northern France: the image of St. Margaret miraculously climbing out of the dragon’s belly.
