Condition
Overall very good original condition. The sculpture with a few light surface scratches scattered throughout, consistent with age and gentle handling. With scattered surface dirt to the recessed contours of the sculpture consistent with age. When viewed in person, this piece presents with a more nuanced, deep green patina than shown in the catalogue illustration. The sculpture's composition displays a great sense of dynamism and movement.
