Catalogue Note
L’attitude de la Vierge, les mains jointes sur la poitrine et le corps marquant un léger mouvement de recul, est caractéristique des Vierges de l’Annonciation, ou Vierges d’Expectation, oscillant entre recueillement et trouble à la nouvelle que lui apporte l’Ange. Les volumes amples de la robe de la Vierge, aux plis épais rayonnant sur son ventre, sont caractéristiques de la statuaire bourguignonne de la seconde moitié du XVe, et notamment du Duché du Bourbonnais aux alentours de Moulin. A cet égard, elle peut être rapprochée d’une Vierge de l’Annonciation décrite par Jacqueline Boccador dans son ouvrage (op. cit., p. 293) et présentant cette même symbolique préfiguratrice de la naissance divine.
