Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. A small light mark observed on the left forehead of the figure which is inherent to the artist's working method. On the figure's right arm, a minor spot of accretion and a small scratch underneath are observed. Minor sign of service irregularity on figure's right fist and on the figure's head, primarily around the surface edges of both ears. Minor wear in handling on the outer edges of the legs of the wooden stool. All aforementioned issues are not obtrusive to the work and are consistent with the artist's chosen medium and method of execution.
