How attributions are worded

Signature and inscriptions

No signature.

Verso

A Fleming in marker Some random white paint marks. Possibly from gesso- ing.

The reverse is marked “A Fleming” in block capitals. Many boards in the collection carry this marking, and some of them are considered to be by Barbara Fleming. The marking may record ownership rather than authorship and is not treated here as evidence of attribution.

Condition

Good. Slight flattening on the bottom left corner.
