Condition

The bronze is sound with an attractive dark green and black nuanced patina. There is a 1cm hairline scratch to the patina on the bun on the top of the head. There are three minuscule chips on the underside of the seated figure and two tiny indentations on the right shoulder. Otherwise this work is in overall very good condition.
