Félix-Maurice Charpentier

Overall the condition of the marble is good, with minor dirt and wear to the surface consistent with age. There are a few small naturally occurring inclusions (some with fill), notably to the proper right knee, the lower chest, the proper left hip, and the proper left shoulder blade. There are also small rust-coloured inclusions to the rockwork behind the proper right hip and to the proper left foot. There are a few minor chips and abrasions, including to the high points of the rockwork and to the bottom edge, with an apparently larger chip at the back right corner of the terrasse. There is a very minor area of abrasion below the proper left breast. There is minor white residue in some of the crevices, notably around the feet.
