Another sculptural silver figure by Thomas Joseph Hueber is recorded and illustrated in M. Hering-Mitgau, Barocke Silberplastik in Südwestdeutschland, Germany, 1973, p. 178 and 179, no. 37: a Virgin Mary and child very similar in size to the present figures. The figure of the Virgin resembles that of the depiction of Summer here with a fine expressive face framed by soft, wavy hair, hooded eyelids, enigmatic smile, and draped robe chased with elaborate foliage on matted ground to simulate a rich brocade. The figure of the Virgin is also composed from an oblique view enhancing the movement of the modeling.
