Alexander Mark Rossi (Italian, 1840-1916) A fisherman and his daughter on a quayside signed 'A M Rossi' l.r., watercolour and bodycolour 42 x 55cm Condition report: On card. The card has discoloured throughout, but most prominently at extreme edges. When outside of the frame the card bows outwards horizontally, although when within the frame this is not noticeable as it is pushed flat. The occasional very light scratch, and some very small indents in the sky. Surface abrasions resulting in rubbed paint all around the edges, and one or two small spots of rubbed paint elsewhere, for example in the sea. A pin hole in each of the lower corners. A little cracking to the gum arabic in the fisherman's beard and the lady's boot. A long scratch lower left corner, and in jetty. A horizontal crease running along the harbour wall behind the lady. A very pale diagonal line, possibly water damage, top right. The occasional small spot of foxing. Corners a little soft. Some spots of glue and tape verso.
