Charity
by DU BROEUCQ, Jacques, Alabaster
Du Broeucq carved the three theological virtues for the large medieval church of Coll�giale Sainte-Waudru (collegiate church of Saint Waltrude) in Mons. Sainte-Waudru (died c. 688 AD) is the patron saint of Mons. The straightforward poses of the figures are enlivened by drapery that clings to the torso in many fine pleats but sweeps around the legs in broader swaths.
