PEDIATRA
Stipple engraving by James Denison-Pender on an optical
crystal rectangular paperweight.
Height 11cm, width 9cm, depth 3cm.
This engraving was inspired by the folk art tradition of clay
modelling in Brazil. An image of a paediatrician sitting
behind his desk is taken from a small clay model by Elias
Vitalino, grandson of Mestre Vitalino, the artist who did
most to develop the art form back in the 1940s. Although the
model is very stylised it is also very human. The engraver
wanted to see how he would relate to real people, so in front
of him sits a worried mother with three children.
Engraved on the back surface.
