Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. Irregularities in the patina are inherent to the nature of the medium and intended by the artist. Under close inspection, a few scattered minor surface scuffs and rubs to each element are visible, which is to be expected from the nature of the work’s execution and display.
