Condition
The canvas is not lined. UV light examination reveals some small spots of fluorescence predominantly to the upper right quadrant which appear to relate to the uneven application of varnish. There are some lines of craquelure in places, predominantly to the green foliage and vase and to the areas of most thickly applied pigment, where there are also a few minor spots of pigment loss. The impasto is rich and well-preserved and this work is in overall good condition.
