Claude Picasso has confirmed the authenticity of this work.
Bronze with a varied brown and green patina. There is a very small indent to the forehead and a faint horizontal scratch with associated patina loss to her hair. There are one or two extremely minor instances of patina wear and possible very minor flattening consistent with age and handling predominantly to the extreme edges and corners. There are a few flecks of oxidisation to the reverse and a small number of very tiny accretions to the front. This work is in overall very good condition.
