    - Embossed copper plate depicting a Madonna and Child Jesus after Donatello.
    The Madonna is shown with her hands clasped in prayer to the infant Jesus, who is seated opposite her, in profile. Two cherubs are arranged on either side to fill the space in the background.

    - This work, in repoussé copper, is based on the sculptural technique of creating a thin relief on a flat surface, obeying the codes of perspective representation. Like Donatello's flattened reliefs (stiacciato), the impression of depth is created by the gradual sculpting of successive planes.

    - This relief is presented in a wooden frame with velvet-covered interior moldings. The frame features a cartouche reading "DONATELLO FLORENCE MCCCLII". The whole is framed by a wide border in petit point tapestry; on a red background, fleur-de-lis motifs are arranged in a frieze (each motif: a stylized fleur-de-lis in gold, around which 5 fleur-de-lis are treated au naturel). The fleur-de-lys follow the curved shape of the braid's indentations.

    - This work is as surprising as it is seductive, thanks to the eclectic range of techniques used (repoussé copper, wood, tapestry) to highlight the Madonna.

    - Copper dimensions: width: 32 cm, height: 39 cm
    Frame dimensions: width: 86.5cm, height: 93.5cm
