Condition Report:
Executed on a sheet of card. The four corners have been cut and the work is framed as an oval. There is an oval shaped band of discoloration due to the manner in which the work has been framed and some browning to the left, right and upper edges, though this is only visible when the work is unframed. There is some minor surface dirt but the work remains in otherwise good condition with the watercolor reasonably fresh and the overall image very legible. Sold in an oval giltwood frame.
