Catalogue Note
iagalganga, dont la puissante dynamique verticale associée aux plans anguleux et à la légère asymétrie de la pose inscrivent avec force le corps dans l'espace. La silhouette longiligne est accentuée par la courbe des épaules se fondant dans le volume du cou puissant. Le visage et la coiffe ont conservé une polychromie rouge et blanche.
