Overall the condition of the bronze is good, with some dirt and wear to the surface consistent with age.

There is some minor pitting to the bronze in a few areas, including the proper right thigh. There is some rubbing to the patina at some of the high points, including the hair and the nipples. There are a few very minor areas of greening to the base. The marble base is in very good condition with minor dirt and wear. There is a remnant of a paper label to the base.
