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.
Bronze with brown and green patina. The sculpture is well-secured to the original base with two bolt nails. Minor surface dirt in the crevices in places. Rubbing to the raised surfaces in places, particularly at the extremities with a few tiny scratches to the top of the mother's head and a tiny dint on her shoulder, possibly inherent to the casting. Some minor scattered oxidation in places, with some spots in particular to the unpatinated inner crevices underneath the child, on the reverse under the mother's seat and under her form where it meets the base. The patina overall is strong and richly varegated. Subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that the work appears to be in generally very good condition.
