Condition
The sculpture appears sound. There is some slight rubbing to some of the protruding edges of the bronze, and there are some traces of casting residue in places. There are some very tiny specks of oxidisation apparent primarily to the seat, and some light surface dirt in places. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition.
The work is freestanding.
