Relined, some minor rubbing/abrasions to edges particularly top left-hand side with small vertical tear / crack with associated retouching immediately above the donkey's ears and approximately 1cm in length. Cleaned and revarnished, some surface dirt and discoloured varnish now in evidence. Extremely superficial slightly diagonal surface scratch in front of the donkey's nose. Odd minor loss / rubbed area where the canvas is showing through the lower area mostly the lower right-hand corner. Some further general thinning / rubbing in areas of the donkey's body where the weave of the canvas is more apparent. The work bears similarities to that of Arthur Batt and it has been historically known as such within the collection of the vendor.
