The sculpture depicts a woman carrying a basket while holding a child in her arms. One specific detail captures a moment of physical interaction: the child is pinching the woman's nipple.
This work is known as Torggumman, or Mor och barn. Lena Lervik created these pieces to exist in two different cities. The Stockholm version was finished in 1992, while the Lund version was finished in 1993.
In Stockholm, the sculpture sits in the courtyard at Repslagargatan 16. In Lund, a second version occupies a mini-park outside the Kvinnokliniken at Lunds universitetssjukhus.
