A sensitively modeled terracotta sculpture depicting a reclining infant girl, the artist’s daughter. Rendered with Derujinsky’s characteristic softness of form and impressionistic surface modeling, the figure captures a moment of playful rest. Signed in Cyrillic on the base, the work reflects Derujinsky’s interest in naturalism and personal subject matter, especially in his early 20th-century work.
