In this poignant bronze sculpture, the symbolic role of an angel as a messenger of God and a guardian of life is vividly portrayed. The angel, with grand wings outstretched behind her, bears the lifeless body of a man on her shoulders, embodying the protective and compassionate nature traditionally associated with celestial beings. The scene captures a moment of rescue, as the angel rushes to safety with a solemn dedication to preserving life. The lifeless figure on her shoulders, head flopped to the side, emphasizes the gravity of the situation and the angel's solemn duty.

Crafted with meticulous care and dedication, this sculpture is a testament to the artistry of A. Mercie, whose signature adorns the piece. Fashioned from 100% bronze through the esteemed "Lost Wax Method," the sculpture boasts a rich brown patina finish, adding depth and texture to the artwork. The choice of material and technique not only ensures durability but also allows for intricate detailing, bringing the emotional nuances of the scene to life. Mounted on a marble base, the sculpture not only captures a profound moment of divine intervention but also stands as a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of the artist.

This sculpture transcends its material form to become a powerful narrative of divine guidance and protection. The synergy of the angel's determined posture, the lifeless figure, and the expert craftsmanship makes this artwork a compelling addition to any collection. As an embodiment of compassion and salvation, this bronze sculpture by A. Mercie invites contemplation on the intersection of the divine and mortal realms, celebrating the eternal themes of rescue and protection.
