This work is in very good condition overall. The edges are taped. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges, including some hairline craquelure along the edges and a minor dent and faint abrasion at the upper right corner. The canvas is buckling slightly on its stretcher. There is a light surface soiling and some minor pinpoint spot and drip accretions visible upon close inspection, the largest of which is visible on the lower right flower. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, the aforementioned drip accretions fluoresce brightly but there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
