Condition
Colours:
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is deeper, richer in the original.
Condition:
The work is in very good condition. There are a number of fine and stable firing cracks, original to the firing process, throughout the terracotta. A small and almost transparent media accretion is visible upon close inspection to the right side of the block, to the lower right corner at the reverse of the composition.
