Condition
The sculpture is affixed to a black marble base with three supports: two at the base of the horse's face, and one at the base of the supporting arched element. The sculpture appears sound. There is some very slight rubbing at the extreme edges of the sculpture. There is some very slight casting residue in some of the pitted areas of the sculpture, and some very light surface dirt and traces of light oxidisation. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition.
