c8.180

The downward tilt of almost all the faces, the upward and pensively held right arms, the horizontal line of the left arms, the indicated diagonals of the legs, in sitting posture and but roughly sketched so as to make a broad basis to the upper part of the frieze, are part of a plasticity in which the measured modulations, bathed in light or subdued by a rich darkness, dwell in that world of form which the main image (not shown in the reproduction), in the simplicity of its state, keeps relegated to the bottom of its presence.
