Focus on L'Amphion and explore the Appearance.
L'Amphion is seen as a product of Laurens' development of style, an evolution between Cubist and Curvilinear art forms. It is also indicative of the female form that many of Laurens' more curving sculptures represent. Though made of bronze, the sculpture is a "grayish-black" shade. The consistency of the material is solid, except for an area on the front where there are decorative stripes on the 'belly'. The shape is based on the Greek mythological Amphion. Annette Labedzki refers to the sculpture as a feminine form, but with smooth curves that give "a mermaid like appearance", and describes it as having "its two hands raised and joined to form a circular shape, resembling a dancing gesture".
