This evocative bronze sculpture by Steve Bennett depicts a young girl seated gracefully atop a resting ram, her serene expression and loosely draped garment evoking pastoral innocence and classical beauty. The child’s pose suggests both gentleness and quiet command, while the ram—traditionally a symbol of vitality, guardianship, and sacrifice—lies calmly beneath her, forming a tableau that merges youthful purity with primal strength.
The sculpture rests upon an ornate bronze pedestal intricately decorated with a relief frieze. The panel features frolicking cherubs and mythological figures, reinforcing themes of Arcadian idylls and the harmony between humanity and nature. The presence of classical references in both form and subject connects this piece to the Romantic tradition, where nostalgia for the pastoral ideal was often rendered through allegory and natural grace.
