Condition
The sculpture has a very dark brown/black patina. It has been stamped KPR 9 to the reverse of the lower edge (see provenance). There is some verdigris presenting to the patina at her torso and legs. There is some wear and rubbing to the patina and irregularity in its tone consistent with age and likely outdoor exposure. Most notable uneven tone is present in the side of the torso and to each of her legs. There is further rubbing to the patina at the top of her head and her nose. The sculpture is in good condition.
