Circa 1850.
Porcelain figure of the crowned Madonna holding the orb-bearing Christ Child, both dressed in elaborately moulded robes with long curled hair and adorned with imperial crowns. The figure stands on an integral base with gilt highlights, a moulded cherub mask, and inscribed in black script “N.D. de Montaigu” (Notre Dame of Montaigu). The rear is impressed with “Germany,” identifying its place of manufacture.

Achterzijde geperst “Germany”, voet gemerkt “N.D. de Montaigu”. Circa 1850.
Porseleinen beeld van de gekroonde Madonna met het Christuskind, dat een wereldbol draagt. Beide figuren zijn gekleed in rijk gemodelleerde gewaden, met lang gekruld haar en keizerlijke kronen. Geplaatst op een geïntegreerde voet met vergulde accenten, een gemodelleerd cherubijnmasker en opschrift in zwarte letters “N.D. de Montaigu” (Notre-Dame van Montaigu). Achterzijde geperst met “Germany” als aanduiding van de herkomst.
28 cm. high.
Note:
Notre Dame of Montaigu refers to the Marian shrine of Montaigu in Belgium, a major pilgrimage site from the 17th century onward. This representation of the crowned Madonna and Child was a popular devotional image across Catholic Europe. Although associated with Belgian devotion, this example was produced in Germany for the export market.
