Virgin of the Annunciation, ca. 1300–1310, Made in Paris, France, French, Limestone, traces of paint, Overall: 16 11/16 x 11 5/8 x 7 3/8 in. (42.4 x 29.6 x 18.8 cm), Sculpture-Stone, Interrupted in her spiritual meditations, the Virgin Mary modestly recoils from the archangel Gabriel (now lost), whose message foretells the birth of the Christ Child. The statuette's sensitively carved features and slight smile, elongated proportions, and graceful draperies show stylistic analogies to courtly art in Paris
