This sculpture captivates with its dignified sense of guidance and protection, depicting a standing figure draped in flowing garments with one hand raised in a commanding yet gentle gesture while holding a small box in the other, as a child kneels at his side, looking up in trust and dependence, the composition beautifully balancing authority and compassion, while the detailed folds of fabric and the weathered patina enrich the work with depth and a timeless sense of presence.
