Julian Trevelyan, R.A.

The sheet appears sound. The left edge of the sheet is deckled. There is a very small tear at the lower left corner, visible only upon very close inspection, and one or two minor instances of wear in places to the sheet. There are pinholes in each of the four corners of the sheet, thought to be in keeping with the artist's technique. There is some light surface dirt in places, and several instances of minor staining. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in good overall condition, with strong and vivid colours throughout. The work is presented in a dark wooden frame, float mounted against a cream backing card and held behind glass.

This work appears to have been an initial idea for the Charing Cross mural.
