Overall in honest original condition, watercolours have faded somewhat but retain a fair differential of colour, unpainted paper in the sky perhaps a little evenly discoloured, otherwise a few small scattered dirt specks and marks along with a few tiny fox marks, work does look rather flat so thought probably to be laid down, inscribed and dated in ink lower left, housed in an ornate and fairly recent washline mount and slim gilt frame.
