Condition
The bronze is sound, with an attractive dark brown-black patina. A close inspection reveals some very slight wear to the patina, mostly on the most protruding areas, and a small white media mark on the figure's left shoulder. Apart from a light build-up of studio dirt in the recessive areas this work is in good condition.
