Condition
This work is in generally very good condition. There is a crack between the two figures on the back of the piece which seems inherent to the medium and is common for the artist's works. There are a few areas of soiling on the surface and in the crack which can benefit from some minor cleaning. The wood has been completely treated and only a few very small holes due to past worm damage are visible on the surface.
