# The Virgin with the Niddy-Noddy [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [UNKNOWN MASTER, Hungarian]() - Date: 1401-1450 - Technique: Tempera on panel, 89 x 78 cm ## Commentary The painting originally made up one of the several scenes of a Mary altarpiece. On the left hand side of the mutilated painting once there were the figures of St. Joseph and an angel. There are flowers in the foreground, together with the attributes of the Virgin Mary - the wash-basin, the cauldron of water and a towel - all of which became frequent features of German and Austrian paintings influenced by Netherlandish art. The undulating forms of Mary's robe, which suggest her pregnancy, are characteristic of the Viennese painting. ## Related artworks - [Christ Resurrected]() - [Christ's Farewell to his Mother]() - [Coffin of Christ \(detail\)]() - [Coffin of Christ]() - [Crucifixion]() - [Figure of a Prophet]() - [Flagellation]() - [Head of a King]() - [Holy Trinity]() - [Knight with Painted Eyes in Capuccio]() - [Madonna of András Báthory]() - [Madonna]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
