Condition
Very good condition, with the highly variable and somewhat dry surface typical to the artist's process. Black pigment on his face and body is painted on, and the patina is greenish black. There are flecks of patina missnig on the horse's back and base, again likely inherent to work. Figure incised by the artist, with a layer of composite material visible under top layer.
