Study for a ceiling decoration, with Juno and her Nymphs

Pen and brown ink and watercolor over traces of black chalk, within brown ink framing lines; circular
267 mm; 10½ in. diameter

Condition Report:
Laid down to an old decorative mount which has in turn been laid down to a circular paper backing. The sheet has been extended on the left and right edges by about 10mm, most probably by the artist. There is a tiny pin prick hole to the centre of the sheet and some minor signs of surface dirt. There is some slight drop back in the watercolor but the overall image remains extremely legible. Sold in an elaborate carved giltwood frame.
