Condition
Bronze with an attractive brown/green patina. Apart from some light surface dirt to the crevices and a tiny scratch to the top of her head, this work is in overall very good condition.
Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the greens in her cheeks and nose are slightly more prominent in the original.
