Condition
Attractive mixed patina, yellow bronze to the front face and and green brown patina to the edges and reverse. There are numerous pock marks to the front face with associated discoloration, instrinsic to the artist's process. Apart from some light streaks to the front face and some handling marks, mainly towards the edges, this work is in very good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate although the patina is richer and more varied in the original.
