The way the child is held seems to defy gravity, perfectly illustrating the calm strength of maternal instinct. The mother’s dress, marked by numerous folds and its ample movement, recalls the work of Antoine Bourdelle, particularly his "Penelope." Our piece could also be seen as a counterpart to "The Virgin of Alsace," responding with its softness to the strength of the great master's work.
This beautiful plaster also impresses with its considerable height of 103 cm. Some might see a representation of Saint Anne, while others may simply perceive it as a universal figure of motherhood.
