Catalogue Note
La puissante dynamique verticale - jambes tendues, buste droit et bras s'étirant le long du corps - est accentuée par le traitement de la tête : coiffe à crête sagittale et grandes oreilles plates encadrant le cou. Au minimalisme de la conception s'oppose la délicatesse dans le rendu du visage aux traits serrés. Très belle et épaisse patine d'usage, croûteuse.
