Condition
Polished marble, yellowed in places and with some light surface scatches and dirt consistent with age and handling. There are three well-executed restorations to previous breaks: to two elements of the woman's torso and one to the end of the higher foot. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate, although the marble is slightly whiter in the original when compared to the printed catalogue illustration.
