Condition
The sculpture appears sound. There is some very slight rubbing to some of the protruding edges of the work. There is some wear to the base of the work and to the figure's lower foot. There are one or two traces of casting residue and some minor traces of oxidisation, most apparent at the front of the sculpture where the figure joins the base. There is some light surface dirt in places, and the face may benefit from a light polish. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition.
The sculpture is freestanding.
