Condition
The bronze features a dark green-black patina. There is a little rubbing to the top of the rock base below the left knee and along the bottom left edge of the base. A black wax has been unevenly applied in some areas, particularly noticeable in the deeper crevices and in direct light. There are also some blemishes to the patina, for example behind the figure's arm, and the surface may benefit from professional treatment. The cast is otherwise in good condition.
