Virgin and Child

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts a woman and a child. The woman wears a long robe with folds and creases; the fabric falls in thick folds around her feet. A hooded cloth covers her head. She holds the child on her left hip with her left arm. The child wears a short dress. The woman's face is round with a small mouth, nose, and eyes. The sculpture is made of dark metal with visible texture and imperfections. The base is flat and oval shaped. The background is a gradient from dark to light gray. The title is "Virgin and Child".
