Condition
There are some slight cracks to the midriff of the left figure, visible in the catalogue illustration and some other light cracks at intervals to both figures. The cracking is synonymous with the media used. There is a 10cm. semi-circular crack to the verso which is also typical of the terracotta medium. This work is in fairly good condition.
