Cast in a dense stone composite and mounted on its original solid wood base, the piece carries both visual and physical weight—grounded, balanced, and enduring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe composition features an elongated female figure in a flowing garment, accompanied by two smaller child figures. The forms are gently abstracted, with softened facial features and a textured surface that captures light in subtle, shifting ways. The upward tilt of the figure’s gaze and the quiet presence of the children suggest a narrative of connection, movement, and quiet strength.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe surface retains its original, softly aged patina, with natural variations and textural depth that enhance the sculptural quality of the piece. The material—often referred to as cast stone or bonded stone—was favored for its ability to evoke the look and feel of carved stone while offering durability and substance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMounted on a warm-toned solid wood base, the sculpture reads as a complete, grounded object—equally suited to a console, bookshelf, or pedestal. It brings a sense of calm, presence, and quiet narrative to a space.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eArtist:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Claude LeClerc\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMaker:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Austin Productions\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eDate:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1978\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Cast stone (stone composite) on solid wood base\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Approx. 16” H × 8” L × 5” D\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGood vintage condition with minor, expected age wear.
