Condition

Overall in very good condition. The bronze surfaces throughout retain a rich brown patina, showing gentle rubbing and light surface soiling in some of the recessed contours consistent with age and use. The back plate with some minor rubbing, patina loss and oxidation to the surface adjacent to the photograph (and therefore visible in the catalogue illustration as it is shown without photograph). The oval shaped discoloration to this area is likely from the attachment of the terminal of the easel stand hardware, and therefore inherent in the design. Lacking clear glass front.
