Estimate £400-600

Watercolour on white paper which has started to discolour, a fine tear running from approx 2 inches to the right of the top left corner diagonally downwards just through the left of her shoulder down below her waist and coming down at least as far as her knee with a further crease running diagonally downwards to 6 o'clock, paper has been laid down presumably in an effort to repair this damage. Still retaining some fairly strong reds in the body of the dress but the outer pinks now rather pale, equally the greys looking weak, signed Luna lower right, in a fairly recent card mount and plain gilt frame.

Comes for sale from a local collection, we will seek further information regarding previous provenance.
Comes from a long term collection, was bought in a London sale over sixteen years ago.
