Watercolour on paper. The artists' sheet had been laid on canvas and securely attached to a keyed wooden stretcher. There are spots of paper loss along the four framing edges, covered by the frame, due to old nails touching the sheet. The artist's sheet has somewhat discoloured in time and colours have somewhat faded. There are brown marks along the four framing edges possibly from previous mounting. Overall, this work is ready to hang. Presented glazed, in a decorative gilt frame. Colours are brighter and the sky is more yellow in reality than in the catalogue illustration.
