A mother grieves, holding her baby, under a cloudy sky.
A view of a standing mother holding her child in the Umlauf sculpture garden and museum in Austin, Texas. The sculpture is a green tarnished bronze color. The mother is standing facing the viewer and left. She is looking up at the sky forlornly. She has a long face. She has a large right hand holding a baby. The baby is cradled just above her left elbow. The baby is gazing up at his mother. His left leg is dangling down. A large bell-shaped sleeve meets the mother's right hand. The base of the statue below the mother's knee is cut off by the bottom of the frame. The sculpture above dried hard ground. A thin small leafless tree is just to the right and behind the sculpture. A tall see-through iron fence runs across the center of the frame behind the sculpture. A road is beyond the fence. The top half of the frame is a green belt. Tall trees are framed against a blue and partly cloudy sky.
