Condition

Good condition overall with minor wear or scratches to the patina at several places, consistent with age and handling. A few chips to the edges of the drapery at several places: some of them appear to have been restored. One larger lack to the right side of the drapery (circa 2 cm), which can be easily retouched, and a restored break to her left backside. Two tiny drillingholes to the marble base. Very decorative.
