Condition
This work is in fair condition overall. There is heavy evidence of handling and wear to the sculpture. There are scattered abrasions and losses to the paint, on the base as well as the sculpture. Some of these losses appear to have been inpainted. This work would benefit from a repainting. Please contact the Contemporary Department for a quote for the cost of repainting from an independent conservator.
