Presented in a white mount and a gilt-effect wooden frame with ornate floral and foliate detailing. Signed to the lower-right edge. On watercolour paper.

Condition

There is some slight debris trapped beneath the glazing and some small scuffs, chips, and areas of retouching to the frame. Overall well-presented and in good condition.
