Condition
The bronze is sound with a rich black patina. There is some pitting in places commensurate with the casting process, notably to the top of the figure's shoulders. There is a small surface scratch to the patina on the figure's lower back. There is small area of pitting with associated loss to the surface on the ankle of the bent leg. This work is in overall very good condition.
