Catalogue Note
Cette Vierge à l'Enfant en émail peint est tout à fait caracteristique des oeuvres des premiers émailleurs de la fin du XVe/début du XVIe siècle à Limoges. On peut y constater l'influence du Maître du triptyque d'Orléans, ainsi que celle du Maître aux Grands Fronts caractérisé par ses personnages aux fronts hauts dégarnis, aux petits visages et yeux bridés, que l'on retrouve ensuite dans l'oeuvre des Pénicaud.
