Condition
Overall very good condition. The bronze presents with bright, lustrous gilding with some scattered extremely minor discolorations consistent with age. The proper left side with a circular discoloration measuring approximately 1/2 inch in diameter where the chin turns under, not visible when the apple is upright. A whimsical small-scale sculpture that epitomizes the artist's imaginative aesthetic.
