Catalogue Note
Selon la conception minimaliste du corps humain dans l'art Luba, les jambes disparaissent pour accentuer l'importance de la tête et l'intériorité de l'attitude. Très belle patine nuancée, crème et caramel, mettant en valeur la douceur des reliefs estompés par l'usage, et la beauté épurée des traits résumés à leurs lignes essentielles.
