Condition
Overall very good original condition. This work displays superb scale and intricacy in the design. The design of this work incorporates a two sculptural clusters, as seen in the catalogue illustration. The patination is a vibrant green tone throughout. The patination across the bush is consistent and with some very light discoloration, which is commensurate with the natural aging process of the material. With some minor surface dirt concentrated in the recessed portions of the design. With some minor surface dirt to the interior recessed portions of the design. A superb design that shows the technical expertise and unique sculptural vision of the artist.
