This sculpture is in very good and stable condition. There are areas of dust accretions throughout the crevices of the wooden surface and there is a slight discoloration to the white paint. There are some areas of fine and stable craquelure and minor paint loss. Most notably, there is a ¼ inch paint loss located at the top of the curved element which bisects the round element and may be seen in the catalogue illustration.
