Condition
In fair condition; impressive presence--but wear to the surface and in particular on the top of the head and shoulders, has taken away some of the crispness of the work. Chipping around the bottom edge and the top border of her dress. Spots of restoration: in the dress on her right shoulder, in two places along the top of her head dress, in the hair above her forehead, on her neck, on the ridge of her nose, and on the base. On a separate socle.
