French school; 1932. Modeled plaster. Signed and dated. Measurements: 26,5 x 26 x 3,5 cm. Relief made in plaster starring several characters with idealized body of clear classical roots, but with marked volumes and tending to a geometrized conception of the forms. Despite the obvious presence of geometry, the author offers us an image of great expressiveness and dynamism. Regarding the technical and formal aspects, the sculptor demonstrates a great mastery of the craft, a virtuosity especially evident in the details that make up the scene and in the volumetric play of the relief.
