Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the work. Under close inspection, some light craquelure is evident along the seam between the figural sculptural element and the background, resulting in some intermittent loss primarily near the figure's coat. There are scattered accretions along the surface. There is a 1ΒΌ-inch loss to the left of the figure's ear and a 1-inch loss to the bottom left corner that have benefitted from restoration.
