Condition
White marble. The sculpture is sound. There are a few small surface scratches, possibly original, notably to the woman's legs and hands. There is some glue remnants along the base and one brown dot, possibly original, to the woman's proper left cheek. There is a light build-up of dust in the crevices. This work is in overall very good condition.
