No, not the Celtic player! I saw this sculpture while walking around Madrid. It is probably 12 feet tall.
ADDENDUM November 7, 2011
In what is a truly remarkable coincidence, tonight I was at a hospital event at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. We entered at the new back entrance on the Fenway. Lo and behold, there were the exact same two baby head sculptures I had seen in Madrid! Only this time there were signs indicating that the sculptor was Antonio Lopez Garcia (born in 1936) and the sculptures were called "Night" and "Day." The one in this picture is Night. The sculpture is actually 8 feet tall by 6 1/2 feet wide. I just wanted to correct my impression above with the actual facts from the MFA website.
