Condition
Executed on card, laid down on board. There are artist's pinholes to the upper corners. UV examination reveals two thin lines of retouching to the lemon behind the black pot relating to minor scratches. There are some fine lines of craquelure and small paint losses in places. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though overall slightly less pink in the original.
