Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. There is light evidence of handling to the sculpture, including pinpoint areas of loss at the figure's standing foot and on both arms. Under raking light, minor light abrasions and pinpoint accretions are visible. A few small areas at the corners appear to have been repainted.
