Lot 103

Possibly signed lower centre right (within the darkest brown area of the landscape); if so, very indistinct.

The principal parts of the work are in oil paint (and the work was described as being an 'an oil' when sold by the Joshua McClelland Print Room) but it appears possible the sky and clouds are in gouache.

Apparently in excellent, well-preserved condition, with a few scattered tiny brown spots.

(In preparing this report the work has not been examined out of its glazed frame.)
