The polyptych painted at the end of the 15th century, 3m72 long, is formed of seven oak panels. It represents the Marian cycle in realistic and familiar scenes. It is attributed to Jean Roulx and his son Jacquelin dits de Molusson, active in Bourges from 1461 to 1505 around Jean Colombe. It could have served as a retiable at the altar of the Virgin until the seventeenth. Classified as Historical Monuments on April 7, 1902
