This image depicts a bronze relief sculpture, "A Família" (The Family), by artist Giselda Leirner, located at the Congregação Israelita Paulista (CIP) in São Paulo, Brazil. The relief features three stylized human figures: an adult female on the left, an adult male on the right, and a child positioned centrally in the foreground. The figures are rendered with broad, rounded planes for faces, featuring prominent eyes, noses, and mouths, characteristic of a modernist or cubist influence. The female figure is depicted with a visible bust and arm, supporting the child. The male figure has an angular jawline and is shown with his arm and hand. Both adults' hands are intertwined beneath the child, providing support. The child, depicted as an infant or toddler, is centered and held securely by the parents. On the male figure's upper right, near his shoulder/neck, stylized Hebrew letters spelling "חי" (Chai), meaning "life," are embossed. The artist's signature, "Giselda Leirner," is faintly visible at the bottom left edge of the relief. The entire bronze piece, exhibiting varying shades of brown and hints of verdigris, is mounted directly on a plain, light-colored wall. Lighting from above or the front creates distinct shadows and highlights on the textured surface of the relief, emphasizing its three-dimensional quality. A small, dark rectangular object or label is visible on the wall to the right of the artwork.
