Clément Rousseau
Relief Sculpture

1935
stone
incised Clément Rousseau and dated 1935
15 ¾ x 11 ⅛ x 2 ⅜ in. (40 x 28.4 x 6 cm)

Condition Report:
Overall in very good condition. The stone presents with surface irregularities and uneven free edges inherent to the medium and its carving. The stone throughout presents with scattered surface scratches and light scuffing consistent with age and gentle handling. The sides of the stone present with a few more pronounced abrasions, the largest measuring approximately ⅝ in. long and not visually distracting. The reverse of the sculpture is applied with remnants of an old paper label and presents with traces of incised writing. Light surface soiling concentrated to the recessed areas of the design.
