Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly deeper in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are small holes throughout, which appear to be inherent, and the torsos of both sculptures seem to have discoloured, which also appears to be original. Close inspection reveals some unobtrusive signs of wear and small cracks to the paint in isolated places. There are a few small losses and signs of wear to the base of each sculpture, and the wood has split slightly to the base of the female figure. There is a media accretion to the male figure's left arm.
