Nursing Motherhood by Avard T. Fairbanks

This is one of the most admired of all of Avard T. Fairbanks’ works.  It shows a beautiful female figure kneeling and holding a nursing infant child.  It was initially carved in Serravezza marble in Florence, Italy, in 1928.  When Avard T. Fairbanks, PhD., returned to Italy after World War II, the life-size Nursing Mother marble carving, fortunately, was retrieved.  It was shipped to the Springville Art Museum in Springville, Utah, where it is prominently displayed. 

It has been re-carved in Carrara white marble as well as in Portuguese Rose Marble. There are 3 sizes of this statue, which is the favorite statue of Avard T. Fairbanks. It has been carved in marble; life size, medium size and small size. All can be reproduced in Italy at the marble carving Studios.

    • This includes retouching the wax, chasing the bronze, and selecting the patina to ensure that each piece is of museum collectable quality.
