This terracotta bust, likely depicting the Virgin Mary, was created by the Florentine sculptor Mino da Fiesole, sometime between 1485 and 1499. The piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, showcases the artist's characteristic style. Mino da Fiesole was known for his subtle and refined renderings of figures, using a soft and delicate approach to portraying the human form. The Virgin Mary's gentle expression and the carefully draped folds of her clothing are hallmarks of his artistic sensibility.
