This sculpture is by Kenneth Hughes...although the date seems to be a mystery. It depicts the Mary sitting with the infant Jesus sitting on her lap. Joseph stands behind them. The work presents the figures indistinctly and a viewer would not necessarily know that this was the Holy Family without the title informing us.
This tourism website (
visit link) briefly describes the piece:
"This fine sculpture was designed by prominent sculptor and artist Kenneth Hughes. It represents an interesting modern artistic interpretation of a classical view of the holy family. Southwark Cathedral has always prided itself on being a forward thinking institution yet still respecting the ancient institutions and this piece is a classic example of that way of thinking. The artist has other works in London galleries."
