10 x 21.5in.
Estimate £400-500
Probably some degree of fading but still retaining fair colours particularly in the figures at the bottom, a number of broad scattered fox marks in the sky showing sepia brown, also some mould and dirt specks showing as grey, many of these are on the glass rather than the work itself, otherwise good. Housed in its original gilt frame which is now looking a little grubby, title inscribed in pencil verso.
