Condition
Black/dark brown patina. Loosely attached to a base at one point on the underside. There are areas of accumulated dirt in the deepest crevices of the cast. Areas of verdigris are visible below the figure's face near the lower right and center portions of the sculpture. Minor areas of patina rubbing are visible at the right side of the figure's kerchief and on the backside of her head. Overall the work is in very good condition.
