Sale 2055
Estimate$500 – $800
A private Philadelphia collection
Nice variation in color particularly to the face, and smooth patination. Gold leaf shows signs of minor, occasional loss and rubbing, particularly to the breast and base. Paint also appears to show signs of minor, occasional loss. There are minimal signs of re-painting, most notable a retouched chip on the bottom-front of the left-facing shoulder. Some scattered areas of paint loss particularly along the top and edge of base, likely due to contact from the bust.
