terracotta
80cm., 31 1/2 in. overall

Condition Report:
Overall the condition of the terracotta is good with dirt and wear to the surface consistent with age. There is a slip to the surface which might conceal some condition points. There is some rubbing to the terracotta in particular to the nose and chin. There is a small loss to the ribbon on the proper left hand side of the chest. There probably is also a reattachment here. There are a few very minor chips to some of the high points, including the drapery and the hair. There is very minor cracquelure to the nose and forehead.
