Condition
The canvas is lined. There is a layer of varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating, though UV examination does reveal some possible retouching to some of the flowers towards the upper right of the bouquet. There are pinholes to each corner. There is some minor paint loss associated to some fine lines of craquelure to the lower left corner. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
