Mother and Child Figure

Cleveland Museum of Art

The wooden sculpture titled "Mother and Child Figure" by an unknown artist depicts a seated woman with a child. The woman has dark brown skin and hair styled in a short style with a decorative element on top. Her facial features include small eyes, a small nose, and a mouth with visible teeth. She wears a neck ring and bracelets on both wrists and her upper arms. Her breasts are exposed. The woman sits cross-legged on a rectangular wooden base with her right hand resting on her knee and her left hand supporting a small child. The child sits on her left leg, facing the right side. The child's features are less detailed than the woman's. The sculpture is made of dark brown wood with visible wood grain and has a glossy finish. The background is a gradient of gray, transitioning from light to dark. The sculpture casts a shadow to the left.
