Condition
The structure of the sculpture is sound. There is some light surface wearing to the top of the head and to further edges resulting in the bronze being slightly polished in some areas. There is some white residue to the side of the bent leg which would benefit from a light clean. There is surface dirt throughout and to the crevices of the bronze. There is a tiny hole to the figure's right hand but this is intrinsic to the sculpture where the hand is holding the rope. In good overall condition.
