Condition
A striking figure of good overall appearance. Patina slightly less yellow and more gold than suggested by catalogue illustration. Minor old marks and scratches in places, consistent with age. Some wear to gilding and minor traces of verdigris to crevices, again consistent with age. Well cast and detailed. A good example of this classic model.
