The Virgin and Child from the Sainte-Chapelle is an ivory sculpture probably created in the 1260s currently in the possession of the Louvre Museum in Paris. The museum itself describes it as unquestionably the most beautiful piece of ronde-bosse [in the round] ivory carving ever made and the finest individual work of art in the wave of ivory sculpture coming out of Paris in the 13th and 14th centuries.
