Condition

The pigments in this watercolour have faded slightly. There is evidence of minor surface dirt to this sheet. There is very minor scattered foxing which is particularly noticeable in the sky. Located in the sky to the left of the tallest tree is a dark mark which appears to be the result of a defect within the paper. The sheet has been laid down.
