Condition
Overall very good original condition. The sculpture showing a very detailed patination, which inherently varies across the sculpture. The coloration of the piece shows a silvered gilt finish, which is much lighter than it appears in the catalogue illustration. A stunning work when viewed in person. The piece is held away from the wall by metal components, one of which has circle for hanging hardware. A complex sculptural work, which in person appears to float weightless on the wall.
