Condition_report : Overall the condition of the bronze is good with minor dirt and wear to the surface consistent with age. The bronze has had a knock at the right corner to the reverse and there are fissures at the reverse (where the patina has darkened) and to the side (with wax fill); the base is slightly warped here. There is a minor fissure to the base above this area. There are some water marks and/ or minor fissures to the top of the base. Minor dirt and paint residues in the proper right ear and hair. A few minor scratches. The bronze would probably benefit from a light cleaning by a professional conservator.
