Condition
Overall the condition of the bronze is good, with minor dirt and wear to the surface consistent with age. Two fingers of the proper right hand are lost. The top of the head is flattened, probably because the figure acted as a support. There is some rubbing to the gilding, in particular at the high points and the legs. There are a few minor nicks.

This enigmatic model has traditionally been given a Florentine origin and exists in several versions, including two in the Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum, Braunschweig, and a particularly fine cast, with inlaid silver eyes and lips, in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna. The present bronze appears to be the only known cast with gilding.
