Condition

The bronze is sound and has a very attractive green-blue patina. The sculpture is barely worn, in even the most protruding areas. A close inspection reveals a few tiny spots of patina-loss to the figure’s hair and a very light build-up of dust in the recessive areas. This work is in excellent condition.
