Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. There are some light spots of oxidation where the bronze has been welded. There are scattered light accretions and surface abrasions which appear to be inherent to the artists working method. There are variations in tone, patina and overall color of the work, which is possibly inherent to the artist's working method. The reverse side of the sculpture shows further signs if oxidation and variations in tone.
