Unveiled in 1999, this life-size plaster sculpture, commissioned by the Maternity Ward of Iowa Methodist Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa, beautifully captures the essence of motherhood. The sculpture depicts a woman in her ninth month of pregnancy, classically rendered with graceful detail. Smiling gently, she holds her belly with both hands, symbolizing the anticipation and joy of bringing new life into the world. Set on a small circular pedestal, the piece stands as a tribute to the beauty of motherhood. It has become a beloved symbol in the hospital, inviting reflection on the universal experience of pregnancy and the wonder of new beginnings.
