Condition
Overall in good condition. Impressive scale and nice choice of marble. Please note that there is a little dent from natural veining of stone to her forehead. Another, now filled to the lefthand side of her proper left forearm. The proper right arm shows a repaired break just above the wrist, and to the same arm the end shows a repair to all fingers. All repairs have been professionally done and well achieved. To the left hand, the tip of one finger has been repaired as well, with a composition stone resulting in a dark color. Minor chips to edges of plinth.
