Condition
Overall in very good original condition. The sculpture presents with a few minor areas of surface dirt concentrated to the recessed portions of the design and some scattered wear to the gilding at the high points of the sculpture. One electrical fitting is missing and the other is present but with evidence of prior solder repair. This work has not been tested for electrical stability and Sothebys does not guarantee the electrical function. This is a dynamic figure which relays significant movement in its intricate details.
