about L’Autruche (The Ostrich)
Diego Giacometti's sculptural depiction of an ostrich is representative of his Primitive-inpsired work portraying wild animals with bronze.
Featuring a real ostrich egg, the sculpture is braced with wings that support the egg even while the bird balances on only a few toes.
