Condition
Good overall condition.
Some traces of wear all over the surface of the patinated bronze dress, all visible on the catalogue. Some slight cracks to the ivory on the arms and feet. The left foot with a minor restoration (two of the fingers re-glued). Very minor chips to the base, all consistent with normal age and use.
