    The movement of the fencer is almost horizontal. A deep lunge, the rapier thrust far forward and the free arm extended back convey the instant of attack. The simple sports costume is bronze, while the face and hand are ivory. The elongated green-onyx base with a dark stripe continues the direction of movement.
