描述

  • Émile Louis Truffot
  • Jeune fille Mauresque (Young Moorish Girl)
  • signed and dated: E. truffot 1878 and with the E. TRVFFOT STATVAIRE pastille
  • partially polychromed terracotta

Condition

Overall the condition of the terracotta is very good with minor dirt and wear to the surface consistent with age. There are two very slight stable fissures to the neck on either side of the head: these may be original casting joints or merely minor firing cracks. There are one or two very minor chips. The polychromy was probably never fully complete (so as to evoke colour), but there may be some wear. There are a few pencil marks, including to the forehead, and some dirt marks, such as to the chest.
