Laurence Stephen Lowry, R.A.

Acquired directly from the Artist by the father of the present owner

The sheet is fully laid down onto an acidic supporting board, from which we would advise it be removed. There is some light acidic staining across the sheet, most apparent in the sky and the upper right corner of the composition. There are also some traces of surface dirt and small scuffs scattered across the composition. With the exception of the above the work appears to be in good condition. The work is presented in a window mount and a small black frame. Please contact the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
