Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the bronze is a darker tone in the original. The illustration fails to fully convey the three-dimensional volume apparent in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There are a number of scattered very fine unobtrusive scratches and tiny unobtrusive abrasions to the surface of the work. Some light oxidization is visible in the recessed areas scattered throughout the sculpture.
