Miramontes has already evoked music through her work with the sculpture *Mélomane,* where the human body takes the shape of a treble clef.
Here she directly sculpts a musician—a violinist.
The instrument is suggested in this highly romantic piece, full of movement and lightness.
The title softly alludes to the famous poem by Verlaine:
The long sobs
Of the violins
Of autumn
Wound my heart
With a monotonous Languor.
Isabel Miramontes gives each of her sculptures a soul of his own. Each figure carries within it a message delivered by a movement, a posture, an expression. To achieve this near perfection, Isabel Miramontes shapes the material, lightens it, softens it, bares it, works the curves until reaching this subtle and powerful balance.

Literature
The title evokes with more sweetness the famous poem of Verlaine:The long sobs
Violins
Of autumn
Rock my heart
Languidly
Monotone.
Les sanglots longs
Des violons
De l’automne
Blessent mon coeur
D’une langueur
Monotone.
