Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate though the overall tonality of the patina tends more towards a rich, deep, matt black in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The black patina is worn on the underside resulting in the exposure of tiny spots of shiny bronze beneath. There are further similar rub marks to the tips of the figure's ears and the reverse of the standing leg. There are several extremely faint rub marks throughout and some light dust adhering to the recesses.
