Framed Illustration of Little Moreton Hall

This item is a framed artistic illustration of Little Moreton Hall, a famous moated Tudor manor house in Cheshire, England. The artwork is executed in a pen and wash or watercolor style, featuring intricate black ink linework to denote the iconic half-timbered architectural details. The palette is muted, with natural greens for foliage and earthy tones for the building. It is presented in a double-matting arrangement, with a dark inner mat and a wider dark outer mat, housed within a metallic gold-toned frame. The lower left of the artwork is inscribed with 'Little Moreton Hall, Cheshire,' while a signature appears on the bottom right. The frame shows minor cosmetic wear, specifically visible scuffs or slight chipping on the top left corner, suggesting it is a late 20th-century piece. Overall, the composition demonstrates good draftsmanship of historical architecture, capturing the building's distinctive jettied upper floors and complex timber framing.
