Condition
Attractive dark brown patina. There is some wear to the patina in places, most notably the protruding areas such as the nose and toes of the figure and consistent with age and handling. There is some plaster residue to the crevices at the back of the figure's head as well as to the model's underside. There are also traces of verdigris to the model's underside. This work is in overall good condition.
