. Painted on a sheet with integral fibrous quality. Some general reduction to overall colour depth. There is a cluster of un-worked areas along the top edge and thatching of the building and slightly right of the facade which would appear to be by design but some seeming somewhat incongruous and not necessary for artistic purposes? Very subtle cockle in places. Not examined out of the frame. Light to medium time staining to sheet which is apparent in non worked areas within the sky and is possibly contributing to the temperance of colour.
