This figure comes from Le Jeu de l’écharpe, a Sèvres table centerpiece designed for viewing in the round. Unglazed biscuit porcelain keeps the surface matte, while the scarf establishes the direction of movement.
How to use the model
Examine the work from more than one angle.
Use the 3D view to inspect the overall form, then zoom in to compare surface, joins, and tool marks. Lighting controls can make shallow carving and material changes easier to see.
