Condition

This watercolour is in good condition. The colours have remained fresh and strong and the sheet has very minor discolouration. Along the extreme right and left edge of the sheet there are several very minor areas of paint loss, however, these can not be seen unless the work is unframed. Along the bottom edge of the sheet the paper has been cut. This score measures circa 5 cm, but again this can not be seen unless the work is unframed.
