Condition
Overall in very good condition. The sculpture presents with a nice patina to both the sculpture and figurative panel on the base. The marble base elements with minor surface scratches and a few minute edge chips. With some minor evidence of oxidation adjacent to the head of the figure, consistent with aging of the material. A nice example of the smaller scale variant of this design.
