Condition Report:
The bronze is in good condition overall, with minor surface dirt in the crevices. Some minor wear and scratches to the patina in some places, as well as some dark oxidation (notably to the male proper left arm). Some very minor vert-de-gris oxidation to Gloria's gilt armor. The gilding may have been slightly retouched in some places.
