This 2017 drawing of a medieval statue of St. Firmin is now available.

As stated in the Met's description
'Saint Firmin was a fourth-century missionary who became the first bishop of Amiens and the patron saint of that city.'
and that as a consequence of popular violence during the French Revolution
[the statue comes into the Met's collection] from 'the destroyed bishop’s palace at Amiens'
