Condition
The canvas is not lined. UV examination reveals small areas of retouching throughout the lower right quadrant and a small spot of retouching to the centre of the bouquet. There are areas of paint shrinkage throughout, predominantly to the areas of thick impasto. There are several spots of paint loss towards the lower right edge. This work is in overall good condition and would benefit from a clean.
