This limestone Madonna’s stance may look a bit odd to a modern eye. Right knee bent and left hip jutting out, upper body tilted back and head bent sharply toward the Christ child on her arm, her body describes an S shape. Fluid and ornamental, the S curve is typical of sculptured figures in the Gothic period.
