The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

Charcoal and red chalk heightened with white on one sheet of buff paper.
The paper is laid down to a backing board around the edges.
The paper has some undulations and cockling.
The paper has slightly discoloured and there are few extremely minor spots of foxing, nicks and scuffs.
The pigments remain fresh and strong.
Overall the work presents well in a brown and green mount in a gilt composite period style frame, protected behind glass.
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
