Claude Picasso has confirmed the authenticity of this work.
Bronze with a brown patina. There is some minor patina wear and possible very minor flattening consistent with age and handling predominantly to the extreme edges and corners. There is a fleck of probable oxidisation at the upper right corner and one or two further tiny accretions in the lower left quadrant. There are one or two possible very minor scuffs in the lower left quadrant. There is some variation to the patina of the raised areas. This work is in overall very good condition.
