    Bronze with a black patina signed by the sculptor Victor Rousseau (1865–1954). Of Belgian origin, he carved stone from a young age and then participated in the construction of the colossal Brussels courthouse. Through his various travels, Victor Rousseau drew inspiration from Art Nouveau in France and the Renaissance style in Italy.
    This sculpture depicts a man tenderly holding a child in his arms and feeding the child. He holds a spoon and a bowl aloft. He wears a hat, period clothing, and clogs. Sitting on a rock, he is accompanied by a faithful dog at his side. The work exudes a warm and intimate atmosphere, capturing a moment of tenderness, emblematic of the beginnings of life.
    The artist's signature is present on the base. The sculpture rests on an elegant griotte marble base. This bronze is remarkable for its delicate details—from the facial expressions to the textures of the clothing—which demonstrate the remarkable skill of this artist nicknamed "the sculptor of souls."
