Description :

This is a striking mid-century modern sculpture titled "Mother and Child" by Walter Hanula, dated 1963. The abstract form captures the intimate bond between mother and child through two smooth, rounded shapes—one large and one smaller—gracefully intertwined in a minimalist embrace. The sculpture is made of a speckled off-white material and is mounted on a warm wooden base.


Signed and dated on the reverse, the piece also features an impressed "63 AMR" mark, indicating the year and reproduction origin. A label affixed to the base reads:
"Authentic Reproduction, Copyrighted by Alva Museum Replicas, Inc., Alva Studios, New York, N.Y."
This suggests that the sculpture is a licensed reproduction made by Alva Studios, known for high-quality museum reproductions.


Dimensions: 9” H x 5.5” W

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Surface shows light wear consistent with age.
