About this work
The courtly manner of the Virgin and Child, the elegant style and the use of precious and translucent alabaster suggest that this statue was commissioned by Margaret of Austria or someone around her court. Margaret served as Regent of the Netherlands, based in Mechelen, on behalf of her father, Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I.
