Joseph Willems,1715 - 1766 Statue en terre cuite représentant un Noir tenant un bol , 1736,

Good condition overall with minor surface dust in the crevisses. Several old restored breaks appear in the terra cotta: to his right wrist and to his right knee, to his left knee and left ankle which can be easily retouched. A few minor chips at several places, such as to the edges of the base, consistent with age and handling.
