Yes, I love them too and in French they are "Ste Anne Trinitaire". The
Bretons have a particular devotion to St Anne (they claim her as a Breton
woman !!) and some years ago there was a fabulous exhibition in Nantes of a
collection of these images in statues and paintings from a wide range of
periods.
