Immigrant Mother, Bronze sculpture in Cathedral Square Park, Milwaukee, United States.
The seven-foot-tall bronze figure portrays a mother carrying a baby while another child stands beside her on a red granite base.
William George Bruce, a Milwaukee businessman, provided funds in 1960 to create this monument dedicated to his mother and all immigrant mothers.
The sculpture represents immigrant mothers raising children in Milwaukee, reflecting the experience of families adapting to life in the United States.
The sculpture stands opposite to the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist and underwent restoration work completed in November 2017.
Tool marks remain visible on the surface of the bronze, creating a textural element that adds depth to the sculpture's simple figural style.
