Maternity
Modeled plaster
H. 103 cm
We are struck by the ineffable gentleness conveyed by the gestures of primitive tenderness between this mother and child. The child's carriage seems to defy gravity, a perfect illustration of the quiet strength of maternal instinct. The mother's dress, with its many pleats and ample movement, recalls the work of Antoine Bourdelle, particularly his "Penelope". Our work could also be a counterpart to "La Vierge d'Alsace", whose softness matches the strength of the great master's work. The work is criss-crossed with metal reference points, testifying to a desire to reproduce this original modelling in marble.
