Mother and Two Children is a masterpiece of Tasseor’s early style; carved with supreme subtlety and elegance, the sculpture is strikingly monumental despite its small size. Both the mother and the child she carries gaze skyward; might her second child, seemingly a swaddled infant, be journeying heavenward? Speculation aside, the work is a sensitive and powerfully evocative portrait of maternal love.Provenance
