Maternal Care By Schoenwerk

This bronze sculpture by Pierre Alexandre Schoenwerk masterfully depicts a woman holding a water jug while guiding a young child by the hand. The figures are rendered with great skill, emphasizing the dynamic interplay of the woman’s drapery and the child’s understated yet powerful portrait. The sculpture exudes a sense of care, tenderness, and connection, heightened by the way the woman supports her weight on one foot while lovingly holding the child.
The bronze execution highlights the refined details characteristic of Schoenwerk’s style. The signature on the bottom of the base, “Schoenwerk sculpt,” confirms the work’s origins. This sculpture is a magnificent example of 19th-century sculpture, where the artist emphasizes emotion, movement, and classical aesthetics. It is an ideal work for collectors seeking the timeless beauty of classical antiquity.
