Catalogue Note
La Vierge glorieuse légèrement hanchée se tient sous trois arcs trilobés surmontés par des gables décorés par des crochets feuillus et des trèfles champlevés dans les écoinçons. Elle est flanquée de Sainte Catherine portant sa roue et de Sainte Agnès que l'on identifie à l'agneau à ses pieds. Les longs plis rectilignes en biais des robes et le mouvement "en tablier" du manteau de la Vierge indiquent une datation autour de 1370-1390. Un feuillet similaire à bien des égards - notamment dans le traité du décor architecturé et les formes des visages- et provenant également de la collection Landau est conservé au Musée du Louvre.
