Gouache on lightly textured paper by Albert Ernest Bottomley (1873-1950)

Gouache on paper applied to card. The painting is in reasonable condition, signed lower right. The paper is slightly textured/hand made, with small raised spots of wooden flecks. Age toning to these areas and other unpainted areas, and other minor marks/blemishes. The gouache is possibly a sketch for a later watercolour by Bottomley, titled 'The Nomads'.

Paper measures 30.3cm x 25.5cm, with the backing card being slightly larger.
