Description A Burgundian carved limestone portal or funerary figure, likely Catherine of Alexandria First quarter 15th century H: 39, W: 13 1/2, D: 10 in. (approx.) PROVENANCE: Private Collection, New York, NY. Condition Report Descriptions provided in both printed and on-line catalogue formats do not include condition reports. The lot is sold in the condition it is in at the time of sale. The condition report is provided to assist you with assessing the condition of the lot and is for guidance only. Any reference to condition in the condition report for the lot does not amount to a full description of condition. The images of the lot form part of the condition report for the lot provided by Freeman's. Certain images of the lot provided online may not accurately reflect the actual condition of the lot. In particular, the online images may represent colors and shades which are different to the lot's actual color and shades. The condition report for the lot may make reference to particular imperfections of the lot but you should note that the lot may have other faults not expressly referred to in the condition report for the lot or shown in the online images of the lot. The condition report may not refer to all faults, restoration, alteration or adaptation because Freeman's is not a professional conservator or restorer but rather the condition report is a statement of opinion genuinely held by Freeman's. For that reason, Freeman's condition report is not an alternative to taking your own professional advice regarding the condition of the lot. All transactions are governed by Freeman's Conditions of Sale. Notes The identity of the saint depicted in the present lot was once believed to be the ''Pregnant Virgin'' – attributed, no doubt, to the low-slung protrusion of her bulging belly. This treatment of the female form, however, was considered the height of fashion for women of the Burgundian court under the duc Jean sans Peur (1371-1419, r. 1404-1419), where a narrow chest and long surcoat fastened with buttons, first seen in the 14th century, allowed garments to be fitted to the body in order to display to maximum effect a desirably fecund silhouette, often accentuated with gathered robes or stuffed pouches at the waist. This reading suggests that the figure, rather than pregnant, is represented as a stylish young lady of the elite ruling class. Carved in the first quarter of the fourteenth century from the soft limestone produced in the northern regions of Burgundy, this material was prized for its malleability in executing high relief and flowing drapery not seen since antiquity. Borne of a single monolith, the outstretched right hand, now lost, would have been carved of the same material and attached with a metal tenon, still visible. Close inspection of her head, heavily corroded from the acid rains produced by centuries of steel production in the Burgundian region, still retains a wave of curled hair that would have been fitted with a crown. This evidence, and the lack of other integral carved saintly attributes such as a necklace or features at her base, suggests that her attributes would have been entirely applied, either out of carved wood or metal. Her right hand would have held the instrument of her martyrdom, while instruments of her torture would have lightly rested in her lowered left hand. With undulating folds and cascading hair still retaining traces of original polychromy, the figure stands in contemplative repose, her head gently turned to receive the plaints of worshippers. Her conversational attitude, with body modeled in bold contrapposto with a voluminous leg visible beneath her robes in gesture toward a partner, it is likely the figure existed in dialogue with another. Her peaceful, solemn gaze with downturned eyes indicate she was designed to be viewed from below, such as in an architectural setting, and her mournful demeanour further suggests her use in a funerary monument. Virgin-martyrs of the early church were entitled to depiction with a crown, but only three had, by the early 15th century, been incorporated into the Fourteen Intercessors who might be deployed for this function: Barbara, Margaret of Antioch, and Catherine of Alexandria. Barbara, with her large tower and ciborium, and Margaret, who holds a small cross with both hands, would not have been carved with the gesture or aspect of the present work. Catherine of Alexandria, a third-century Egyptian princess and the mystical bride of Christ, and John the Baptist, the prophet and cousin of Christ, were among the most revered saints in the medieval Christian canon, and shared a martyrdom by beheading. They were, therefore, frequently used together in funerary monuments as intercessors against death, such as can be seen in the funerary chapel of the Burgundian duc Philippe le Hardi (1342-1404, r. 1363-1404), father of Jean sans Peur, at Champmol, constructed in the late 14th century. We may surmise, therefore, that the figure may be Saint Catherine of Alexandria, now separated from her attributes. Her right hand would have held a sword while her left would have supported a small wooden wheel. This lot is sold together with a copy of an analysis by Théo-Antoine Hermanès, which may also be reviewed upon request prior to the auction.
