Condition

Upon close observation, there is evidence of light wear and handling around the edges of the work. The lighter coloured paint layers appear slightly dirty and light craquelures can be visible on the right edge, around the center area, top left corner and below the head of the structure. Examination under ultraviolet light shows a few pin-sized spots of restoration on the surface along with larger to touches to the right of the statue (3 spots) and top right corner. However this is not visible with the naked eye. Framed.
