Venus at the bath

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 attractive statue is in very good original condition. Retaining its original milky white patina with no evidence of having been displayed outside. Some surface dirt, mark and light abrasions to edges - to be expected with age and handling. These is a small oil spot to the back of her left hand. Would benefit from a light clean. There is a break to the little finger of raised left hand, the finger is retained and requires refixing. The signature is highlighted with traces of red paint. A highly original example.

The weight is 35KG
