Circa 1990’s Betty Difuntorum “Study Time” Resin Sculpture

Design Plus Gallery presents a “Study Time”Sculpture from Betty Difuntorum. Depicting six children gathered for a quiet reading moment in a classroom setting. The figures are perched along a rustic log bench, grouped in two staggered rows, each child absorbed in an open book. Details bring warmth to their expressive faces and varied postures—heads bowed in concentration, feet dangling, books propped on laps—capturing the hush and wonder of story time. The children wear period-evocative attire: some in simple dresses, old one boys ih suspenders, with thoughtful touches like bows, buttons, socks, and neatly brushed shoes. The wood grain of the log contrasts gently with the smooth resin figures, lending a homespun, folk-figurative charm typical of the era. Nostalgic and inviting, this piece celebrates the joy of learning and the shared magic of books, making it a heartfelt display for a classroom, library, or reading nook. In good condition, visible and minimal wear, repairs were done. Crafted in California, USA.
