Henry John Kinnaird (fl.1880-1908)
watercolour,
A Sussex hayfield,
signed,
14 x 10.25in.
Estimate £200-300
Watercolour on white paper, a fair amount of undulation showing through the works so clearly not laid down, possibly a hint of slight damp damage in the sky towards the top corners where it looks like the grey may not have been originally intended, one or two scattered dirt specks, most of which are on the glass rather than the work itself, also one or two tiny fox marks noted, titled lower left, signed lower right, in an old rather grubby card mount and plain ebonised frame.
Blues in the sky are fairly represented by our photographs, we would opt for the framed version as the truest form of colours.
