Condition
The medium is bronze with dark grey patina. The work is in good overall condition with the exception of the verdigris throughout from exposure to the elements over time. However, this doesnt detract from the overall aspect of the work which is very fine. There is a small light colored discoloration to the patina in the mane of the horse, on its proper left side (about 1/2 in. long). Also on the proper left flank, just before the loin is another faint discoloration to the patina. The work presents very well.
