Constance Wibaut - Mother with child
Constance Wibaut - Mother with child
Signed on the back of the sculpture.
This bronze sculpture by Constance Wibaut depicts a mother holding her child close in an enveloping and protective pose. The broad, soft forms and slightly rough modeling give the work a natural warmth and simplicity, beautifully and recognizably depicting the intimate moment between mother and child. The figures subtly merge into one another, evoking a strong sense of unity and connection without making the sculpture heavy or dramatic.
The patina with deep green tones enhances the bronze's tranquil appearance and allows the design to stand out clearly. The compact yet solid composition gives the sculpture a distinct presence, while the mother's closed posture creates a protective space around the child. This contributes to the emotional value of the whole.
The result is a Constance Wibaut sculpture that exudes peace, security, and gentle strength. A beautiful work for lovers of figurative art with a warm and meaningful presence.
