EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable figurine from the 14th to 16th century, depicting the tender bond between a mother and child. Created by an unknown artist, this ceramic statuette captures the essence of family life and motherhood in exquisite detail. The figurine portrays a female figure delicately cradling her infant in her arms, showcasing the timeless act of breastfeeding. The subtle color palette and gray green celadon glaze on stoneware add depth and beauty to this ancient artwork. Originating from Siam (modern-day Thailand), this piece is part of the Arts of Asia collection at the renowned Art Institute of Chicago. Its presence in this prestigious art gallery speaks volumes about its historical significance and artistic merit. As we gaze upon this sculpture frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where nurturing and love were celebrated through art. It serves as a poignant reminder that throughout centuries, women have played an essential role in raising children with care and tenderness. While the identity of its creator remains unknown, their skillful craftsmanship has left an indelible mark on history. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty captured within but also serves as a testament to our shared human experience across generations. In preserving such treasures from our past, Heritage Images continues to honor these cultural artifacts for future generations' appreciation without commercial intent.
