Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the tonality of the figure's face and hands are deeper in the original.
Condition: This work is in good condition. Very close inspection reveals some light and unobtrusive rub marks in isolated places to the barrel. There is a small loss towards the back of the figure’s head, and another loss to the figure's left thumb. Close inspection reveals a few short cracks to the figure's knuckles.
