Condition
The sheet has been laid onto the backing board, and a mount with a gilt inner accent is adhered to the backing board around three of the work's sides, covering the sheet's extreme edges. Apart from a couple of minor small drop marks in the distance (visible in the catalogue illustration), this work is in good condition, and ready to hang.
Held in a narrow, decorative gilt frame under glass.
The colours are more vibrant overall in reality than in the catalogue illustration, notably the greens of the grass and the lady's yellow coat.
