Let me start by telling you there is a water stain throughout the Sky but that I will have that stain disappear or restored by my Paper Conservator who is like a Magician. He is the best paper conservator I have ever seen or met The drawing has Vivid colors and looks like 100s of Men on Horseback it's Dimensions are 24" x 34" and framed 37 3/8" x 47 1/2". By the way The Eastlake Frame again is Fantastic and terribly Rare. We have all seen these types of Eastlake frames but have any dealers or Privates found the gilding in these Frame made of Bronze..This Frame has Bronze or Brass and not Gilt wood as decoration, and the decor are Ears of Corn. This Frame was a quite expensive Frame having a Gold Border of embossed Corn Cobs and in each corner on the right side and the Left side what appears to be Epaulets Heavy Gold Eastlake Design please take your time with the pictures. You can see Napoleon is cut or bleeding on his head and there is a line of Napoleons Blood on his Horses Neck. THIS IS A Really great Drawing save for the Moisture Stain in the Sky which will be no more. I will pay to get this Fabulous drawing restored for the new owner and then what comes out from a 6500.00 Watercolor will be a Painting fit for any Museum or Fine assemblage of Historical Paintings or drawings for anyones Estate collection.
Everything I sell is used, and often is quite old. In many of the cases there will
be damage of some kind, and usually some form of restoration and
repair. This is especially true of relined canvas Paintings This is
considered normal with old Art & Antiques. I will attempt to mention
significant problems, and always include excellent photographs. You
should rely upon your inspection of the photographs. No representations
are implied about mounts and frames, unless specifically stated, and
then they are just my opinion. Authorship/Authenticity is similarly a
matter of opinion. In the absence of a provenance, even a signed picture
may be a forgery. Unless I have reason to suspect a forgery, which I
will then mention, please assume that authorship is a matter of opinion.
The exception would be if I say "guaranteed genuine" or "by the hand of
the Artist listed
