La Maternidad, an urban sculpture by Fernando Botero, is located in Plaza Escandalera in the city of Oviedo, Asturias, Spain. This work, dated 1989 and made of bronze, represents a modern version of a mother with her son. The figure, which measures almost two and a half meters and weighs 800 kilograms, shows the rounded and obese features typical of the Colombian sculptor's style. The mother is sitting with the child on one of her thighs.

La Maternidad in Plaza la Escandalera is the work of Colombian sculptor Fernando Botero Angulo and is one of the city's most famous sculptures.

The bronze figure, which is almost two and a half meters tall and weighs 800 kilograms, is characteristic of Botero's works with its round and voluptuous shapes.

The sculpture represents the artistic movement called "Boterismo". Botero depicts women, men, daily life, historical events and figures, milestones of art, still lifes, animals and nature in general, with exaggerated and disproportionate volumetry, accompanied by fine details of biting criticism, irony, humor and ingenuity.
