Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in good condition. The artist's signature and date written in silver marker on the base (not visible in the catalogue) have been partially rubbed off. There is a scratch to the signature on the base. There are four tiny specks of paint loss to the green pigment, between the legs of the green acrobat. There are very fine hairline scratches to the black base of the sculpture as well as some scattered, extremely fine rub marks to the surface. There is a minute chip on the red figure's right heel .There is some faint wear and light discolouration underneath the head of the red acrobat; to the right hand of the green figure as well as to the reverse of this, which appear to be retouching.
