Richard MacDonald captures the profound stillness of an expectant mother nearing the moment of arrival. Full and grounded, the figure embodies both the physical weight of pregnancy and the quiet anticipation of new life. Her natural stance and reflective gesture convey strength, vulnerability, and a deep sense of readiness. Sculpted from life, the work reflects MacDonald’s close observation of the human form and his ability to reveal the emotion held within a fleeting, intimate moment.
