Condition
The bronze is sound with an attractive dark brown-black patina. There is a light build-up of dust in the recessive areas and slight wear to the most protruding areas, notably the outside of the thumb. A close inspection reveals two tiny nicks to the back of the hand, towards the knuckle of the index finger and the base of the hand. This work is in very good condition.
