Missing head

The head of the nurse has been restored by copying another fragment from the cloister of Notre-Dame-en-Vaux.

This comparison is based on a similar proportion between the two works and the presence of the veil, which emphasizes the status of the adult or married woman.

However, the association of these pieces should not be taken as certain: at present, none of the broken surfaces allow for a connection between these two elements.
