Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the patina is slightly darker in the original work.
The surface presents a natural aging of the patina. There is some light oxidation marks on the back of the figure's head, in the creases of his hair. There is a light superficial scratch on the back of the figure, one on his right shoulder, visible in the catalogue illustration, and on the left cheek.
This work is in very good condition.
