George Percy Ashburnham (1815-1886) - Framed Watercolour Three Towers in Ghent

Description

This detailed watercolour depicts drama unfolding in the streets of Ghent. Fallen masonry and white smoke stream out from one of the city's three towers, while figures gather in the road to help the injured and assess the situation. The watercolour has been signed by Ashburnham to the lower right. Well-presented in a fine gilt effect frame with a crisp new mount. On paper.

Condition

The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration. There is a light scratch to the watercolour along the lower edge. The gilt frame shows signs of wear with light scuffs and scratches on all members.
