A woman lies back with her head turned, a swan resting its head against her shoulder, the two carved together from golden quartz. Matte and polished surfaces are set against each other, so that her hair and the bird's plumage catch the light while the face stays soft.
The carving belongs to the work of the St Petersburg stone-cutters, in which the emotional and the observed are closely intertwined, and in which the artist's ethical and philosophical reading of the world is carried by the form itself.
Materials: golden quartz
Dimensions: 13 × 8 × 6 cm
