Condition Report:
The bronze is in good condition overall, with minor surface dirt in the crevices. Minor wear and a few scratches to the patina in several places, consistent with handling, in particular to the front of his proper right thigh, and the outer side of his proper left leg, where the patina appears to have been retouched.
