Condition
Overall the condition of the two bronzes is good with minor surface dirt, particularly in the crevices, and wear to the patina at the high points consistent with age and handling. The Baigneuse has fill on the inside and minor verdigris in the crevices at several places. There is a tiny bit of waxy residue to Diane at the back.
