"The Son and I" presents a touching bronze sculpture depicting a father carrying his child on his shoulders while holding a walking stick. This intimate figurine captures the bond between generations through its expressive detailing of facial features and the protective posture of the father figure. The patina gives the metal a distinctive dark finish with subtle highlights that emphasize the emotional connection between the two figures represented.

About Artwork: The Son and I

Created in 1980 by an anonymous artist, this 9-inch bronze sculpture stands on a decorative circular base that provides stability to the vertically composed piece. The bronze medium allows for the fine details visible in the facial expressions and traditional attire of the figures. The sculpture's modest scale makes it suitable for intimate display spaces while still conveying the universal themes of protection, guidance, and familial connection that transcend cultural boundaries. The simple walking stick and the child's comfortable perch on the father's shoulders create a scene of everyday tenderness that resonates across time and cultures.
