Naked Child Lying on His Back, Playing with His Foot 1893

Georg Christian Freund's terracotta sculpture "Naked Child Lying on His Back, Playing with His Foot" from 1893 depicts a cherubic baby, its chubby form rendered with captivating detail. The child's relaxed pose and playful interaction with its own foot evokes a sense of innocence and joy. This charming piece, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Freund's mastery of capturing the beauty of childhood.
