About this Work
A quietly powerful small-format work in which a mother — rendered in warm terracottas and soft shadows — holds her infant with protective tenderness. Absalon strips the subject to its emotional essentials: the curve of an arm, the tilt of a head, the complete absorption of a parent in their child. A work of great intimacy in a modest scale.
