Condition

Structurally sound. There is very minor surface dirt and dust to the crevices, with small surface scratches in places, and one or two very minor nips and nicks to the underside of the fingers and the back, bottom of the dress on the reverse with possible bruising, which are most probably in keeping with the artist's original technique. This excepting the work appears in excellent overall condition.
