Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good and original condition. Very close inspection reveals some spots of patination and a superficial layer of dust which has settled in the creases of the sculptures. Further close inspection reveals some media accretions and scuffs in isolated places and some tiny spots of burnishing to the extreme points of the figures.
