Condition Report:
The bronze is in good condition overall, with minor surface dirt in the crevices. Minor wear to the patina in some places, in particular to her braids, to some flowers and to the lower part of her hair. Minor scratches to the surface of the bronze is several places, consistent with handling, in particular to her nose, forearms, as well as the edges of the terrace. The patina appears to have been refreshed in some places, notably to her proper left forearm and the terrace.
