Overall the condition of the bronze is good, with some dirt and wear to the surface consistent with age, with particular dirt in the crevices. There is some rubbing to the patina at the high points. A few original casting joints are slightly visible, and the joint at the woman's proper left upper arm is slightly loose but stable. A few original casting plugs are also visible. There are a few spots of greening in areas, including to the men's legs and the terrasse. There is some reddish residue to the woman's proper right foot and the standing man's pelvis. There are some minor nicks and scratches. The bronze slides into a hole in the base with a bronze pin.
