Condition
There has been some minor fading to the colours of this watercolour. The extreme edges of the sheet have been protected by the mount and therefore the colour remains stronger in these areas. The slight change in the pigments to the majority of the sheet has not unsettled the balance of the work. The work has been laid down onto card.
