Orlando Norrie (1832-1901)
"The 12th Prince of Wales's Royal Lancers"
Signed, watercolour, 31cm by 41cm
Provenance: The Parker Gallery, London
Sold for £1,000
Estimated at £120 - £180
Relatively pronounced staining across sheet. There are approx. 3 notable horizontal areas of what look to be applied white crayon along the top edge which are potentially later and used to disguise more pronounced oxidisation towards the edges of the sheet? A similar less evident/pronounced medium would seem to be in evidence more broadly in lower areas of the sky (albeit not exclusively), potentially to serve the same purpose. Some realtively light fading to colour depth in general with some further temporing as a result of general staining. Some tiny sized sporadic foxing spots beginning to form and mostly evident within sky. No evidence of cockling. Not examined out of the frame.
