19th Century European Art and Old Masters

Framed: 24 x 34 inches.
Framed and matted, in generally good condition apart from mat burn lines within outer edges - more prominent on left, top, and right than the bottom. This work is executed on a thick card and is inscribed in pencil on verso (see additional photos). The verso of the sheet has a toned section due to the presence of an old newspaper section that is between the backing board used in the framing and the verso of the card. This shaped area of pale toning is on the verso and does not extend to the front of the work. The card is attached to the overmat with one long piece of brown paper tape affixed to the verso of the card at top edge. The card is not otherwise laid down or glued down. There may be a slight area of minor unobtrusive brownish discoloration in sky at upper left. There are framing lines in pencil visible only when the work is unframed and these framing lines are within the outer edges of the card. With generally good, fresh colors.
