Through the rough treatment with a chisel fractured surfaces result
which have to run in a way that already in the first stage represents the final shape.
This means that the roughest treatment remains as the final surface. Experience showed that
a finer touching-up blurs the sketchy impetus rather than making it clearer. The specific
characteristics of the material, the breaking and splintering of the stone, the texture of its
surface, and the colour already appear at the first strike.
