Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are rather inaccurate, as the white tends more towards a light coffee colour in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There are two tiny abrasions with associated paint loss to one side of the sculpture in the lower half. There is light surface dirt and a few scattered tiny media accretions in a few places throughout.
