About this work

This statue is half of a sculptural group that would have formed the central section of an altar dedicated to the Coronation of the Virgin. With his arm (now partially broken off), God the Father reaches up to crown the Virgin as Queen of Heaven. The companion statue of the Virgin is preserved in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London.
