Hercules Brabazon Brabazon NEAC, PS (1821-1906)
Venice The Grand Canal
Pencil and watercolour, 18cm by 29cm

Sold for £250
Estimated at £120 - £180


 

Some general time staining to sheet, which is more pronounced to outer edges (especially top edge). The lower edge is adrift of the mount and is subtly cockled across full width. Sporadic tiny sized foxing spots throughout. Diagonal scorch? mark approx 0.5cm in length towards the base of right hand tower to right of dome. Most likely executed in the artist's characteristic muted palette but some light colour reduction particularly as a result of the consistent time staining. Tear to lower left hand corner. Not examined out of the frame.
