The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration and light foxing to the paper. Light surface dirt throughout. The artist has extended the drawing beyond the original piece of paper, and an additional piece has been added to the upper margin. Some wear to the frame, including scuffs and paint to the lower rail.

Sophia Katherine Charleton (1789-1844) was a British botanical artist active in the early 19th century. She was the daughter of Thomas Remnant Charleton (1756-1849), an accomplished watercolourist with an extensive military career. Though few records of her life and work survive, Sophia contributed many fine, delicate and detailed botanical studies to a family album that included works by both her and her father. Painting and drawing were considered appropriate pastimes for ladies of 'polite' society during the 18th and 19th centuries, and Charleton's work exemplifies this tradition spectacularly.
