The illustration, very sober in lines and colors, punctuates the story with realistic images, without reducing its meaning to anecdotal. » (Bibliographic notes) "The reader enters fully into the story thanks to the poetic and bewitching words of the block of marble, and witnesses the birth of a love story between the sculptor, the work and the material..."
