Condition Report:
The bronze is in good condition overall, with minor surface dirt. Minor wear and scratches to the patina consistent with age and handling. Very minor casting flaws throughout the bronze, consistent with the technique.
The plaster with surface dirt, as well as chips and losses in several places, consistent with age and handling. Several repairs to the plaster, in particular both her shoulders and wrists, as well as to both her ankles. The terrace appears to have been cast separately.
