Condition

The medium is bronze with light brown patina. The work is in fairly good overall condition. There is some verdigris throughout, more strong in the recessed areas. There are some light surface scratches throughout, distinct from the scattered scoring marks which would appear to be integral to the work. There is very minor light rubbing to the extremities. The work is accompanied by a black varnished plinth, to which it is not attached.
