Sculptor, American, 1858 - 1945

The sculpture is a relief of a baby's head in profile. The baby has a smooth, rounded face with delicate features such as a small nose and closed lips. The ear, neck, and shoulders are also visible. The sculpture is a warm beige color, suggesting it is made from clay or ceramic. It has a smooth, matte finish. An inscription at the top reads "Linda Beau at Eight Weeks." The relief carving gives a two-dimensional appearance, with the baby's profile slightly raised from the flat circular base.
