Due to the item remaining framed behind glass, the exact medium cannot be conclusively confirmed.\n\nThe artwork has been reframed at some point in its history and is presented in a later gilt-effect frame ready for display.\n\nCondition\nAge-related toning to paper.\nMinor foxing\/spots visible.\nFrame displays light wear from handling and age.\nNot removed from frame for inspection.\n\nPlease study photographs carefully.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis item is being sold under the Retail Gift Aid scheme which enables us to increase the value of donations.
