This work is in very good and sound condition overall. There is a surface accretion 2-inches from the top of the figure's head on the back of the work. There is evidence of light oxidation and some tarnishing to the patina, inherent to the artist's working method and chosen medium. Under very close inspection, there is light evidence of pitting visible.
