Condition

Attractive green brown patina. Apart from some light surface scratches, and some areas of minor patina wear to her proper left, her proper right calf, and to the bun in her hair, consistent with age and handling, this work is in overall very good condition. Colours: overall fairly accurate though the green highlights more prominent in the original, and the patina wear less visible in the original.
