Engraved wood, iron, bone, traces of oil pain, 101 x 3.5 cm.
Initials « FH » engraved on the cane. No date visible.
Private collection.
Some of the engraved patterns are represented in the leaves of Hippolyte’s sketchbooks. This allows us to assign this work to him. According to the length of this cane, we can guess that his height must have been between 1.80 and 1.85 cm if we suppose that is was for his own use.
