Condition
The figure is in reasonable condition but the left foot is missing, the right foot has been repaired (re-attached to the body) and is most likely the original. There is an area of repair to the back of the head and where the left arm joins the body. The left hand has been repaired (re-attached to the wrist) and the index, little, and half the second finger are missing. The scarf hanging from the top of the right arm is loose and has probably been repaired. There are numerous long cracks running through the face, arms, front and back, the hips and legs. There is a horizontal split running from the left knee to the centre of the figure and a vertical one running to the lower edge of the figure from this point. There are some breaks/chips to the scarf where it is tied at the figure's stomach. There is also a 2 x 2cm chip to the left shoulder and two smaller ones adjacent to it. There is a 29cm piece of the scarf that is loose and attached to the right thigh. Although quite a lot of the gesso is missing throughout the figure, there is still quite a lot remaining and with its original colour.
