Catalogue Note
A la tension caractéristique de la pose - debout, les bras levés vers le ciel - s'ajoute l'ample mouvement par lequel le personnage prend possession de l'espace. Les bras se rejoignant concentrent l'attention sur la tête relevée, offrant la perception émouvante d'un visage aux traits voilés par le temps. Patine sombre et profonde du bois dur.
