Condition Report:
The canvas has not been lined and is securely attached to keyed wooden stretcher which appears to be original.
There is one small dent in the camel's leg closer to the centre of the composition, also patched on the reverse.
Inspection under ultra-violet light reveals an even layer of heavy varnish which makes the surface quite difficult to read. However, with the exception of one small area of restoration around the aforementioned dent, there is no other visible sign of restoration.
This work is in good condition and is ready to hang.

Presented in a decorative gilt frame.
