Condition:
Pencil and waterclour on light cream paper which is now discoloured, presumably left for many years with a mount lying over it at a slight angle and therefore the paper is discoloured differently at the top and then has less discolouration as one runs down the image, a few small scattered dirt and fox marks, pin holes showing across the bottom margin, old card mount and slim glazed gilt frame and inscribed label verso.
