Condition
Attractive and varied brown/gold patina. Apart from some very minor wear and light surface scratches in places (the most prominent of which is a thin line to the centre of the back part of the base), consistent with age and handling, this work is in overall very good condition.
Colours: fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though overall the patina is richer in the original (more red tones, less green).
