Condition

Les trois pièces étaient dans un jardin. Le bronze présente une oxydation générale gris/verts sur les têtes et les pattes, la plupart visibles au catalogue et l'intérieur des pattes des deux plus grands en partie dépatiné. Le dessus du corps en béton des deux plus grands, présente également de nombreuses taches. The three pieces were set up outside. Therefore, the patina of the bronze parts is oxidized and have a green patina (as shown in the catalogue illustration) and on the rear legs of the two bigger ones we can see the bare metal underneath in some places. The stone part with damp stains on the upper part of the body of the two big ones as well. Would benefit from a cleaning with a restorer.
