The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
This marble is in overall very good condition.
The surface with some traces of dust and dirt, as to be expected.
The front with the figure and ground with a light blue speckling confined to her lower half.
The tip of the figure's proper right little finger as well as the index and middle finger of her proper left hand (along with the base edge of the branch) with very well-restored breaks which are only visible under torch light. There is a possible area of concealed restoration to the forearm of her raised arm.
There are a few miniscule chips to the edges, such as minor 'nibbled' chips to the grape leaves and the base. The grapes with few minor abrasions.
Ready to place.
