Two Mothers
Frans Stracké, 1893
This sweet scene reflects increasing interest in the lives of fishermen. The statue shows a young woman holding her child, with her dog’s uppies gathered in her apron. Yet life is not a bed of roses for this barefoot fisherman’s wife. She has only two fish in her pouch, and the net that she drags behind her is empty.
