A figural sculpture depicting a recumbent mother in draped clothing playfully lifting a small child towards her face. The work is rendered in a dark, patinated material featuring a deep brown to black finish with a soft sheen. The modelling is expressive, particularly in the stylised flow of the mother’s hair and the folds of her garment. The piece is self-basing, with no separate plinth. No maker’s marks, signatures, or foundry stamps are visible.
Measurement from back of mother’s head to top of child’s head: 9.5 cm.
