Tenderness is an outdoor white Carrara marble sculpture by Paul Lancz , depicting a mother and child, installed at the corner of Sherbrooke and Peel streets in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The sculpture was created to depict two entities of equal significance showing their devotion to each other.
The originals were moved to the place de la Concorde in Paris in 1794 and Louis-Denis Caillouette (1790–1868) restored them in 1840. In 1984 it was concluded that the annual military parades on 14 July were damaging the sculptures and they were replaced by marble copies produced by Michel Bourbon in the studio of a subsidiary of Bouygues .
