Condition

This sculpture has been designed to be showcased on its base. The height of 18 cm is for the sculpture itself, the total height is 115 cm. Good overall condition. The sculpture presents with some wear to the patina, concentrated to the edges and to the protrudring areas, partially revealing the original colour of the bronze. Two screws are fixed under the feet of the man, in order to insert the sculpture to its stone bases. The stone bases present with chips and losses - that appear to be inherent to the making - and with some scattered scratches.
