Lot Note:
Conceived circa 1912-1914; cast at a later date in an edition of 11 plus 4 artist's proofs.
Overall: 11 1/4 x 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 in. (28.6 x 21.6 x 8.9cm)
In overall good condition, with a nice and even golden brown patina throughout. We notice accumulated dust, as expected, in the nooks and crevices of the work (eyes, curls, mouth). Mark of oxidation in one of the curls at upper left (just above the figure's proper right eye). Similar residue visible at bottom right. We notice a light scratch on the coiffe itself, at upper right, revealing the silvery metal underneath. Light scuffs visible on the base, at bottom left, as well as on the outside rim (verso). Evidence of a small drip at bottom (verso). Additional images available upon request.
The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.
The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
