Edge of the Reef 1935
watercolour on paper

titled on label verso
31 x 40cm
Estimate $4,000 - $6,000
The work displays mild foxing, and discolouration of the paper where it meets the mount. This has likely been caused by a chemical reaction between the acid in the mount, and the pigment on the paper.
The work is in original frame, with some damage to the frame as with age. Overall framed size is 57.5 x 64cm.
