Victor D. Brenner

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a medal with a raised relief design. The medal is bronze-colored and circular. The word 'MOTHERHOOD' is raised and arced over the top of the medal. The relief shows a woman sitting and holding a baby in her arms. The woman's hair is pulled back and she is wearing a dress. The baby is on the left and the woman's face is turned down toward the baby. The artist's last name 'BRENNER' is raised and located at the bottom right of the medal. The background of the image is black at the top, fading into gray at the bottom. The medal sits on a surface which appears to be light gray. The shadows are dark and prominent.
