Summary
A seated figure of an Abbess, copied from the mould of the Bow original, she is reading a book, but poor restoration has rendered this unreadable, also the tree stump at her back has had some very strange restoration. She is dressed in a white robe and a dark mauve habit.
Provenance
Bought from Aldric Young, Edinburgh (who thought it was Bow) on 25/6/1968. For the model see Christie's sale catalogue for 19 April 1971 illustration plate 12
