Condition
The sculpture appears sound. There is some slight rubbing to some of the protruding edges of the bronze in places. There is some oxidisation to the work in places, including to the base of the work just underneath the figure, and some surface dirt, most apparent to the integral base and the crevices of the work. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in good overall condition.
The work is freestanding.
