Condition
The bronze is sound with an attractive brown patina. There is some build-up of dust in the recesses. Apart from a few superficial wear to the protruding elements and below the sculpture, this work is in very good condition.

"[Maillol]achève une œuvre sur laquelle il travaille depuis plusieurs années, ‘La Nuit’. Cette statue fermée sur elle-même représente l’emblème du repos, de la sérénité et de l’ataraxie. On l’a souvent comparée aux statues cubes de l’ancienne Egypte par sa structure parfaitement rigoureuse et la douceur de ses volumes." Bertrand Lorquin
