Condition Report

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of light wear and milk curdling in isolated places, which is in keeping with the artist's choice of medium and working process. Very close inspection reveals a tiny loss to the extreme outer edge of the sculpture.
