Sold for £700

Smaller example: Fairly pronounced staining across sheet giving inherant overall tempering of an already muted palette. Bordering on en grisaille, the pale blue also probably reduced in original colour to a more grey tone. No evidence of cockling. Not examined out of the frame.
Larger example: Relatively pronounced staining across sheet, with vertical line of more enhanced staining due to old framing or movement in mount on left hand side. Slightly incongruous brushwork approximately 1-1.5cm below the moon which may be a degree of restoration? The odd foxing spot. No evidence of cockling. Not examined out of the frame.
