Framed Pen and Ink Wash Drawing of Eastgate Street, Chester

This item is a professionally framed landscape-oriented architectural illustration depicting Eastgate Street in Chester, England, featuring the iconic Eastgate Clock. The artwork is executed in a fine-line pen and ink technique with light watercolor or ink washes to provide depth and shadow. The composition highlights traditional Tudor-style half-timbered buildings flanking a central stone archway. It is presented in a multi-layered framing assembly: a secondary dark wood outer frame with a decorative gold-toned beaded inner lip, surrounding a deep charcoal-colored mat board. The art itself is signed by the artist in the lower right corner and titled 'The Eastgate, Chester' in the lower left. The style is reminiscent of 20th-century topographical sketches, likely mid-to-late 20th century. The piece appears to be in excellent condition with no visible foxing, water damage, or fading to the pigments. The frame shows minor signs of handling but remains structurally sound. The craftsmanship reflects a high standard of architectural detail, emphasizing the historical textures of Chester's urban landscape.
