About the Item

This is a limited edition bronze sculpture titled "Quiet Talk" by the acclaimed American artist Dennis Smith (b. 1948). Numbered 13/30 and signed and dated 1978, this evocative piece captures a poignant, tender moment between a seated mother leaning down to share a quiet conversation with her young daughter, who stands before her holding her hand. Dennis Smith is widely celebrated for his ability to imbue bronze with profound emotional and narrative depth, often focusing on themes of family, heritage, and the human spirit. His work is frequently regarded as a national treasure for its impressionistic style and exuberant capture of the innocence of childhood—which Smith often uses as a metaphor for the adult journey of self-discovery. This sculpture is an exceptional example of his talent for freezing a fleeting, intimate connection in timeless bronze. The piece is in very good condition, as captured in the accompanying photographs. It would make a significant addition to any collection dedicated to fine figurative bronze work or thematic studies of familial bonds.
