Condition
Overall the condition of the bronze is good, with minor dirt and wear to the surface consistent with age. A few stable original casting joints are slightly visible, including at the man's proper left leg, the woman's proper right ankle, and the woman's proper left arm; the latter is very slightly loose but stable. There are a few minor spots of greening and staining to the patina.
The marble base is in good condition with some small chips along the edges.
