Condition
Overall, the condition of the marble is very good, with minor dirt and wear to the surface consistent with age. There are a few naturally occurring inclusions, notably to the neck and some of these have been filled. There are slight abrasions to some of the high points, including to the proper left ear. There is some plaster residue slightly visible where the bust joins the socle. There appears to be a naturally occurring vein to the marble under the chin.
