拍品資料及來源
Accordéoniste is one of the most popular models by the twin brothers, Jan and Joël Martel. Editions of this subject can be found in different-coloured terracottas, lakarmé, sandstone, wood and plaster. Modelled in a bright cubist style, the soft curves of the player's hat and arm dynamically contrast with the sharp lines of the instrument.
