Laurence Stephen Lowry, R.A.

A gift from the artist to the present owner circa 1970

The work is on wove paper which has not been laid down. The sheet is held against the mount by a sheet of card which is taped to the back of the mount. The sheet undulates very slightly across the surface. There is a diagonal crease in the lower left corner, and another in the upper left corner. There is an abrasion to the lower right corner, and other marks across the surface, but it is difficult to tell whether these were executed by the hand of the artist. Held behind glass in a simple gilded frame.
