Andrea Carlo Lucchesi

Overall the condition of the bronze is good, with minor dirt and wear to the surface consistent with age. There is some flaking to the patina, particularly at the arms, the proper left hand, and the face. Probably due to this, a brown lacquer has been applied on top of the patina in areas, notably the torso, thighs, and around the nose. There is also a minor loss to the green patina of the terrasse on the left side. The bronze is very slightly loose but stable on the marble base. There are a few minor nicks and scratches to the bronze, including to the feet.
