Description

A fine topographical view of Tintern Abbey and the surrounding landscape. The painting is unsigned, however the original frame it was removed from was signed by the artist's wife, G. Muriel Tucker. The painting's graphic line work over watercolour bears much resemblance to the artist's other watercolour sketches. On watercolour paper.

Condition

The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some minor discolouration.
