"Virgin and Child" is a notable sculpture created by the influential Dutch sculptor Claus Sluter (c. 1340s – 1405/06). This work is considered a significant piece of late medieval European art, reflecting the transition from the Gothic to the early Renaissance style. Sluter, who worked primarily in Burgundy, France, was renowned for his realistic approach to sculpture, which was characterized by a strong sense of naturalism and individualism that broke away from the more abstract and formulaic Gothic tradition.

The "Virgin and Child" sculpture, also known as "Vierge à l'Enfant," is believed to have been created during the late 14th or early 15th century, a period when Sluter was active in the court of Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy. The sculpture depicts the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus, a common subject in Christian art symbolizing the Incarnation. Sluter's representation of this theme is noted for its emotional depth and the detailed rendering of the figures' expressions and drapery.

While the exact date of creation and the original location of the "Virgin and Child" are not definitively known, the sculpture is often associated with Sluter's work on the Chartreuse de Champmol, a Carthusian monastery in Dijon that served as the dynastic burial place for the Dukes of Burgundy. The monastery housed several of Sluter's masterpieces, including the Well of Moses and the portal of the chapel, which have been attributed to his workshop.

The "Virgin and Child" by Claus Sluter is an exemplary piece of devotional art that showcases the artist's skill in capturing human emotion and his contribution to the evolution of European sculpture. The work is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered an important artifact for understanding the artistic developments of the period.
