Document source description
The small seated Madonna with a standing Christ Child displays unusual geometric drapery folds and profiles. The Virgin's long robe falls to the ground, and the Child is framed with drapery. The faces are somewhat pinched and the Child is unusually thin and vivacious. The gilt-copper crown is original. The left arm of the Child is broken, and there are two later holes in the Virgin's skirt for attachment by wooden pins to the bone support, which is probably Scandinavian work of the 18th century.
