Mother with Child is a bronze sculpture set on a marble plinth, measuring 28 cm high, 38 cm wide, and 10 cm deep. The work portrays a tender moment between a mother and her baby, captured in an engaging, playful pose. The mother leans back with her legs raised and pointed forward, her body curved as she supports the baby’s hands. The child leans back in response, creating a sense of rhythm between the two figures.

The composition suggests motion and lightness. The mother’s hair sweeps backward, as though caught in movement, reinforcing the dynamic exchange. Both faces are lifted, their gestures echoing a sense of joy and connection. The way they balance against one another creates harmony, as though the two figures are part of one continuous flow.

The bronze finish highlights the strength and permanence of the bond, while the marble plinth provides stability and contrast. The smooth textures of the figures are offset by the solid base, grounding the sculpture yet allowing the playful energy to remain at the forefront. From different angles, the relationship between the mother and child shifts, sometimes emphasizing the balance, other times the intimacy of their gaze.

This sculpture offers both elegance and warmth, making it suitable for collectors of figurative works and family-themed pieces. Mother with Child captures not just form, but the shared joy of parent and child in a moment of play.
