A Renaissance fragmentary marble figure of a Classical maidenNorthern France or Flemish, mid-16th century Modelled standing and classical draped in fabric, on an oval base and together with a later display plinth, 43cm wide, 29cm deep, 101cm high (17in wide, 11.5in deep, 40in high) Footnotes:Following the Renaissance convention, it is possible that the present fragmentary sculpture once represented one of three theological virtues (Faith, Hope and Charity) endorsed by the church during the Middle Ages. The elegantly carved folded drapery has been expertly executed and appears to move against the figure's skin as if invigorated by an unseen breeze. The present fragment recalls the work of the Flemish sculptor and architect Jacques Du Broeucq (c. 1500-1584). Note, for example Du Broeucq's stately virtues carved for Sainte-Waudru in Mons, Belgium. These Du Broeucq sculptures are executed in straightforward poses, enlivened by drapery that clings to the torso but sweeps around the legs in broader swaths. Another figure whose carving is worth comparison to the drapery of the present work is that of Charity, attributed to the circle of Jacques du Broeucq and preserved in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (accession number: 65.110).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
