Orlando Norie (1832-1901) Military Scene with Troops moving into Position on a Battle Field Signed

The work is down in colour somewhat with rather pale blues and browns particularly down the left side, but this is probably how the artist has depicted it. The smoke is still visible in the battle field. There are one or two small indentations which are certainly more noticeable in the sky than in the remainder of the composition with minor foxing in places. It is contained within its original Victorian gilt plaster and wooden frame with inner gold leaf wooden slip, under glass. The frame has been restored and regilded.
