Condition
in good condition, overall; the nose has been restored--as per the former owner, "the nose had been broken when the piece fell during the 1917 exhibition at the Scott & Fowles gallery. Nadelman repaired the chip รก la antique, making a point of showing the restoration. However, he never again exhibited the head publically." Recently, the nose was restored professionally.
