Outside Cairo, watercolour on paper, signed Michael Crawley. c1990. Framed and glazed.

Dimensions : Frame : 495mm x 645mm x 18mm. Image : 290mm x 450mm. Weight : 3.000kg net.

Condition/Notes : Good/Very Good. The watercolour on paper study of the  Cairo Citadel and Mamluk Tombs is in good condition with good colours and no damage or moisture. The painting depicts the public area outside the Citadel with many people  visiting the stalls and relaxing in the open space. A smoke haze can be seen above the city stretching from the lh side, behind the Mamluk Tombs to the minarets towering above the Citadel. There is slight vertical undulation of the paper support which can be seen in the images below but this is not particularly noticeable in normal viewing conditions. The painting is signed in red paint in the lower rh corner in the artist's usual manner and is displayed within a multi-lined cream coloured mount. The mount is also in good condition with light toning to the window edges. The gilt frame is in good condition with light scuffing in places and is backed with a sheet of MDF board sealed with 48mm gummed framing tape. A label is attached top lh corner with title "Outside, Cairo" in ink handscript. Screw-eyes and cord attached. An interesting and unusual study for this artist. Please view the images below :
