CONSERVATOR'S REPORT (10 November 2011)
Support
This watercolour is fully encased in an overlay mount, which is covering the edges. The support sheet for the watercolour does not appear to be fully laid down to another sheet or board as it is rising up and undulating in the mount. As far as can be determined the paper is in a good condition, though there is probably some discolouration as it has been framed, probably for many years.
Medium
The watercolour medium is in a good condition, though I suggest it is a little faded.
Conservation Note
This drawing, for its long-term conservation needs to be removed from its present mounting, and flattened.
