Workshop of Frederick Durrant

This late 19th century work shows signs of its age and would benefit from being re-framed. Framed in an oak frame with a gilt slip and glazed with surface dirt behind the glass. The work has not been unframed and inspected out of its frame. The pale green mount is very tired and has stains and foxing to the surface.
