Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The colors are bright and fresh. There is a superficial layer of dust that has adhered to the surface. Under very close inspection, there is a hairline crack toward the back of the top figure's standing leg. There is evidence of wear and handling with minor scattered marks throughout and associated losses, which are particularly evident on the right shoulder of the lower figure.
