"In the treatment of the Christ child the statues of the Saint-Dié group [celle provenant de  Sainte-Marguerite (Vosges), celle du cloître de Saint-Dié et celle du Musée des Beaux-Arts de Boston] present many similarities. The posture of the Infant, for example, is almost the same in three statues. In three He holds a wild rose  by the petals, a motive original, I believe, with this group."
