Circle of Jan Pieter van Bauerscheit the Elder (1668-1728) Southern Netherlandish, early 18th century

There is weathering to the marbles throughout, consistent with placement outdoors as garden sculptures, leading to a coarse and crystalline surface. Otherwise the condition is good with dirt throughout and some wear consistent with age. There is light veining to the marbles consistent with the material. There are a few chips and abrasions at the high points including to the girl's drapery and to the edges and corners of the bases.
