Artist, American, 1910 - 1993

The sculpture depicts a figure holding a small child. The figure is a robed person standing on a flat base, wearing a long brown robe with an ornate pattern near the neck and a headpiece. The child, dressed in a red robe, is held in the figure's arm. Three views of the sculpture are shown: a frontal perspective, a side view with the figure's hand outstretched, and a rear view emphasizing the flow and detail of the robe. The sculpture appears to be made of a material resembling wood, with detailed attention given to the garments and the posture of both figures.
