Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the red on the torso and purple around her thigh are less saturated in the original work.
The ivory paint has cracked with time and few paint losses are visible scattered throughout the figure. Some restoration marks on the legs and arms are visible under close inspection.
The base presents some oxidation intrinsic to the evolution of the material with time.
