Add a piece of nostalgic, collectible art to your home with this stunning figurine from the renowned Kaufman Sculpture Studio. This retired piece is titled \"Bertie Mae Watched Over Little Hattie\" and is part of the beloved Emma Jane’s Babies (Remember When) collection.
Known for their distinct Black Folk Art style, these sculptures capture moments of innocent, rural childhood with remarkable expression and detail. This larger, rare double-figure piece features Bertie Mae (the older girl) protective, resting her hand on Little Hattie’s shoulder.
Highlights of this piece:
Individual Numbering: This piece is hand-numbered and authenticated on the base as Serial #2179, increasing its scarcity and appeal to serious collectors.
Intricate Detail: From the individual textured hair braids and the fabric folds on Bertie Mae\'s dress to the individual cherry print on Little Hattie\'s pink outfit, the craftmanship is superb.
Large Size: Measuring at approximately 10.5 inches tall, this is a significant statement piece.
Matte Finish: Features the characteristic matte, non-glossy finish that defines this specific studio’s work, giving it a soft, historical patina.
A beautiful piece of Black Americana, this sculpture perfectly captures the soulful, nostalgic essence of mid-century African American life. It is a prime example of high-quality Americana Folk Art, making it a cross-collectible for those who appreciate both studio-signed resin figurines and cultural heritage pieces.
This sculpture has been retired for many years and is increasingly difficult to find, especially with matching serial documentation. It makes an incredible addition to any Black Americana, Folk Art, or Kaufman Sculpture collection.
