Condition
This watercolour has been generally well preserved, although some of the more delicate pigments have faded very slightly. The paper has suffered from very minor discolouration and there is a small repair to the sheet, located in the upper left hand corner. Along the upper edge of the sheet there are the remains of an old mount. The work appears to have been laid down.
