Condition
Bronze has been painted white. The crutch and both drawers are separate elements and can be removed. Scattered scuffs and nicks around the base and scattered paint loss throughout the figure. Scattered surface nicks and scratches, most notably to the top of the figure's left thigh. Somewhat dirty overall and would benefit from cleaning. Overall this work is in fairly good condition.
