While searching for this photo, I came across some others I hadn't shared. The Picasso painting must have been near this Boccioni sculpture which I like to dub "Sir Speedy". I like that name better than what Boccioni called it:

Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, 1913 Umberto Boccioni (Italian, Reggio 1882–1916 Sorte) Bronze, H. 48, W. 15-1/2, D. 36 inches (121.9 x 39.4 x 91.4 cm.) Bequest of Lydia Winston Malbin, 1989, MMA 1990.38.3 The painting right behind it is also by Boccioni, "The Street Pavers"

MOMA also has a "Sir Speedy":

Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, 1913, cast 1931 Umberto Boccioni (Italian, Reggio 1882–1916 Sorte) Bronze, H. 48, W. 15-1/2, D. 36 inches (121.9 x 39.4 x 91.4 cm.) MOMA "Acquired through the Lillie P. Bliss Bequest, 1948, Accession #231.1948

Another view...

While its surroundings are plain, at least they had the sense to not have him face the window. The feng shui would be all wrong!

"Pendant Idea"

I made a sketch for a winged scarab pendant:

And then I worked it up into a design...
Design without the pendant top, smaller pendant version, and larger version
