The sculpture tells the story of a young mother and newborn with the mother in the act of covering herself and the baby. It is a very intimate moment and pulls the viewer in emotionally. The figures have a rough almost brutalist quality to them, yet are well defined. The work is signed “JKB” and dated 1976. *José Kuri Breña (1913–2004) was an acclaimed Mexican sculptor and goldsmith from Zacatecas.
