This striking bronze sculpture is comprised of two pieces that fit together - the mother and child
were cast separately. Elizabeth Catlett’s image of maternity has the child sit inside the open space of
the abstracted mother. Catlett made several versions of this popular subject in different material -
including black marble, mahogany and orange onyx.
