Condition
This condition report has been provided by Jane McAusland FIIC, Conservator and Restorer of Art on Paper, Nether Hall Barn, Old Newton, Nr Stowmarket, Suffolk IP14.
Support
This pastel drawing is on a sheet of laid paper. The paper has been fully laid down onto a board, an arrangement probably contemporary with the artist. There is some mount staining visible at the top and a few fox marks above the head of the standing woman. The sheet is slightly 'time' stained. Otherwise the condition is good.
Medium
The colours are good. There is some slight rubbing on the right-hand side in the foreground. The illustration shows the colours to be slightly lighter.
Note: This work was viewed outside studio conditions.
