Christ and the Children, Full Scale, [Bronze]

Christ and the Children, Full Scale, [Bronze]

Animal sculpture--20th century
Figure sculpture, American--20th century

Two children stand before a robed Christ who kneels and looks proper right. Christ holds his hands up, palms out, behind the children. The girl show is robed and holds a bird. The boy (who is nude) leans on Christ's proper left knee. Facial features are generalized and the sculptural forms are simple and broad, particularly Christ's robe, although Fredericks' characteristic "raked" surface treatment is evident on close inspection. Patina is a medium brown.
