A mother cradles her child's head, eyes closed in concern.
A look at a Mother with Child sculpture at the Umlauf Gardens in Austin, Texas. The mother portion of the sculpture begins just below her shoulders. She is facing the viewer with eyes closed and her head tilted to the left. Her left hand is large and cupping only the child's head while he gazes up at the mother. Her hand rests on the child's right shoulder. The bottom of the child's shoulder and below the mothers shoulders is flat. The mother's face is long and so is her hair. Her expression is one of concern and worry. The sculpture rests on a square dark granite slab and pedestal. The sculpture is a light pink and gray color. A circle short limestone brick wall is around the sculpture. There are rocks at the base of the pedestal with the cemented anchor showing in the forefront. The background behind the sculpture is dried brushy ground.
