Excellent condition; reframed c. 1984. Part of my personal collection. One of three by this artist I purchased at auction in Edinburgh c. 1975, this is the only one I’ve retained. The best of the three was purchased by a relative prior to 1978 and is still enjoyed. This one is with my daughter and photographing it was a challenge I couldn’t entirely overcome. Light reflections on the glass required some digital enhancement, but the images adequately reflect the condition and quality of the watercolor.
