Condition
Overall the condition of both bronze groups is good. They are both cast in sections and joints are visible at the men's and dogs' feet. There is some wear to the surface consistent with age with a few minor nicks. There is dirt, chiefly dust, throughout. There is a loss to the edge of the hat of the Scot.
The marble bases have chips to the edges.
