Condition Report:
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. Under close inspection there is evidence of light wear and handling, including minor losses and unobtrusive surface scratches to the red pigment of the scythe and to the gold pigment of the figure. As expected with a sculpture of this construction, a light layer of dust has settled on the surface and in the crevices.
