Female Saint in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, June 2010

Female Saint in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, June 2010
Figure of a Female Saint

Southern Netherlandish (Malines), Medieval (Gothic), about 1510–
Unidentified artist


Dimensions: Overall: 37 x 12 x 7.5 cm (14 9/16 x 4 3/4 x 2 15/16 in.)

Medium or Technique: Wood with polychromy and gilding; some later painting, gilding and varnish

Classification: Sculpture

Accession Number: 65.2230

This doll-like figure was set into a garden tableau, probably made for a convent. The saint's sweet features, graceful posture, and rhythmically flowing drapery are highlighted by paint and gilding, some of which is original-a rare survival.
