Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is lighter in the original.
The copper is beaten and welded.
The base is decorated with some ornamental guilloché interlaced pattern.
Some scattered minor dots of natural oxidation are visible under close inspection.
Some scattered tiny impacts to the copper surface and due to the fact that the sculpture is a mobile are visible under very close inspection.
This work is in very good condition.
