In fact, he needed three different models: one for the head, one for the upper part of the body and one for the legs. For this last part he asked an african-american dancer who played in the shows of josephine baker.

This decorative, illuminated figure is available in 4 sizes: a nearly life-size bronze in 1.70 meters one version with 85 cm, as well as 2 smaller versions in 65 cm (lumina) and 38 cm (lueur lumineuse).
