Saint Anne, grandmother of the Bretons, small model

Polychrome earthenware, circa 1930.

Restoration to the Virgin's neck is almost invisible.

This rare Saint Anne is considered one of Anie Mouroux's emblematic pieces for the Henriot potteries of Quimper. The artist depicts Saint Anne, patron saint of Brittany, sheltering the Virgin Mary under her protective mantle. At her feet, five couples in regional costumes represent the five historical bishoprics of Brittany: Quimper, Saint-Brieuc, Vannes, Nantes, and Rennes.

This work will be on display at the Quimper Antiques Fair from November 7 to 9, 2025.
