Wallflower laid down to card. Cockling to both supports. Various scuffs and abrasions and localised minor losses as shown in images. Some rubbing to wallflower. Some black spotting, possibly form of oxidisation, to dandelion.
Taken out of frames for viewing purposes. Whilst the gouaches are nearly identical in size - 28.5 x 20.5cm and 29 x 20.5cm - the frames they come in are different in appearance and measure 38.5 x 27.5cm and 40 x 30cm. Please see images.
