Condition

This work is in very good overall condition. All of the elements appear stable. There are scattered small nicks to the patina, marks and light wear which are largely inherent to the medium and the working method of the artist. There are additional scattered unobtrusive white spot accretions. This work is accompanied by a white base, which exhibits signs of wear.
