Condition Report:
This work is in very good and sound condition. There is evidence of wear and handling at the edges of the sculpture. There are scattered losses to the plaster figure, most notably at the top of the figure's proper left thigh and minute areas of faint discoloration throughout. All other textural variations to the surface are inherent to the artist’s working method and chosen medium. As expected with a sculpture of this construction, there is light soiling and dust in the crevices and on the surface.
