Information

Watercolour on thin laid paper. 39,3 × 53,3 cm (15 ½ × 21 in.). Signed in pencil lower right: Wohlwill. Framed

Condition Report: Fine, harmonious overall appearance. The colours fresh. The sheet edges in places somewhat unevenly cut. At the upper edge left of the centre at three small places professionally reinforced and colour-retouched short tears (up to 2 cm) and, at lower edge, isolated minuscule losses. In the lower area of the sheet on the left and on the right each a slight scratch (up to 10 cm) with sporadic tears in the paper surface. The sheet, mainly in the margins, slightly creased. In lower left corner a faint, diagonal handling crease (28 cm) as well as a faint crease running diagonally upwards from the lower edge left of the centre. The paper overall unevenly slightly time stained. On the reverse, in the lower area of the sheet in places with foxing; in places slightly shining through to the front. In the upper corners as well as at the upper edge in the centre remains of white paper tape of a former mount
