Condition
The sculpture is in good condition. Cracks noted inside the hollow form indicate that the sculpture has had significant repairs. These repairs are not visible on the outside of the sculpture. A break on the tip of the right foot was observed as well as a tiny loss found on the back of her head. A 1/4” loss on the right bottom edge, a 1/8” loss on the head and a 1/8” loss on the right heel of the figure have been filled and inpainted locally.
