Footnote: Provenance: The Royal Cambridge Hotel, Cambridge

Condition report: Previously mounted to a wall. Needs attention. Appears to be acrylic on a cotton duck canvas support. The lengthy canvas had previously hung in situ by being stapled around the edges, the staples are still in place and care should be taken when handling for the both the painting and the handler. There are a few small sections of missing canvas along the lower edges and a vertical tear in one area running half way up the canvas. The paint layer is thinly painted and mainly stable although there are localised areas of raised and flaking paint with scattered losses. There is some water staining in areas on both the front and reverse of the painting. There is a light bloom in areas and scattered accretions.
