The enclosed property measures 48 by 32 meters and includes a pond and hexagonal gazebo.   Single sheet: 53 x 45 cm, image area approximately 38 x 28 cm.            Drawn on Whatman wove paper; glue and paper residue from earlier mounting visible on back of sheet, but front surface unmarked. $350.00
