Condition Report:
Hinged to a blue paper backing which has subsequently been hinged to a modern cream mount. There is some very minor buckling to the vellum, something entirely consistent with this support. The work remains in overall good condition with only some very minor drop back in the watercolors, which remain in remarkably good condition. Sold in a decorative giltwood frame.
