"Infant Ceres" is a notable marble sculpture created by the American sculptor Erastus Dow Palmer in 1855. Palmer, a self-taught artist, is renowned for his neoclassical style and his ability to infuse his works with a sense of delicate realism. "Infant Ceres" stands as a testament to his skill and artistic vision, capturing the Roman goddess of agriculture, grain crops, fertility, and motherly relationships, Ceres, in her infancy.

The sculpture depicts a young girl, symbolizing the youthful innocence and purity of the goddess. Palmer's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the child's delicate features, soft curls, and the gentle folds of her drapery. The work is imbued with a sense of tranquility and grace, reflecting the neoclassical ideals of beauty and harmony. The choice of marble as the medium further enhances the ethereal quality of the piece, allowing for a smooth, polished finish that captures light and shadow effectively.

"Infant Ceres" was created during a period when American art was heavily influenced by European neoclassicism, and Palmer's work is often compared to that of his contemporaries, such as Hiram Powers and William Henry Rinehart. The sculpture not only showcases Palmer's technical prowess but also his ability to convey a narrative through form and expression.

The piece has been exhibited in various galleries and museums, contributing to Palmer's reputation as one of the leading American sculptors of the 19th century. Today, "Infant Ceres" is appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also as a significant work within the context of American art history, reflecting the cultural and artistic aspirations of its time.
