Condition
Attactive brown patina. There is a patch on the right leg of the male figure, probably added by the artist to correct a foundry fault. There are slight scuff marks, inherent to the artistic process. There is a very light superficial dirt on the base. Apart from a minor wear to the patina on the head of the woman, this work is in very good condition.
