Condition
The sheet is not laid down and although it undulates very slightly, appears to be in excellent original condition.
The work is clean and the colours remain beautifully fresh and vibrant throughout. Occasional minute spots of foxing are visible in the upper left quadrant but these do not mar the overall impression of the work in any way.
Presented mounted behind glass in a simple wooden frame in good sound condition. The mount is marked by various spots and stains and needs replacing.
Please note that the browns are slightly cooler in the original with more green in the foliage.
