This work captures a timeless moment of tenderness, protection, and maternal connection, rendered with quiet strength and emotional restraint.

The figures are cast in bronze and finished with a richly layered green and brown patina, emphasizing surface texture and natural modeling. The mother’s downward gaze and relaxed posture, paired with the child’s gentle embrace, create a sense of stillness and emotional depth. The sculpture is mounted on a polished green marble base, lending architectural weight and balance to the composition.

This example is signed by the artist and numbered 10/16, indicating a limited edition bronze casting, a format commonly favored by González Perez. The edition size, combined with the expressive subject matter, makes this piece especially appealing to collectors of Mexican modern and contemporary figurative sculpture.

The work is presented in good condition, with patination and surface variation consistent with bronze casting and the artist’s intended finish.
