Patchy stain in top right corner and along the top edge. No stitch losses. Colours are mostly good and strong. Pink colour appears to be later refreshed/enhanced. No colour run. Neatly and evenly stretched. Frame showing some wear, but is structurally sound and in our opinion could be hung 'as is'. less

For Blessings ever wait on virtuous Deeds; And tho a late- a sure Reward succeeds.'. Signed and dated, 'Sarah Banes Aged 12 1801'. Framed in an old wood frame with glass.
