Marble relief carving side 2
I did this marble relief and presented it to a gracious hostess.We, wife, daughter and me, last year, went to Europe. We spent time in many areas but the time spent in Luxembourg was marvelous. We were boarded and entertained by the mother of our daughter's friend, Carol, whom we had not met, previous to our trip. She picked us up at the train station, taken home with her and treated wonderfully. We spent 3 days there and she drove us everywhere we went. She gave us a tour that took us to France, Germany, and areas of Luxembourg. She fed us like close family.
I could tell from her various displays of art that she enjoyed sculptures, paintings and many other genres of art.
It is made of white Italian marble, carved on both sides and sits on a walnut base. For it's size it is really quite heavy. It was not completed, I had started it before we left for Europe and while thinking on how to thank her for her wonderful hospitality, began to visualize finishing it and presenting it to her.
The marble had been in my possesion for more than 30 years before I did something with it beyond it laying around. It is a small portion of a larger slab.
It is in Luxembourg, several thousand miles from me and I picture it among her other collectibles.
