Thence by descent

Canvas is unlined. Slight bowing at upper left corner. Areas of bright color and rich impasto in the still life elements. Minor frame abrasion at lower right corner. Under UV light there appear to be two thin lines of retouching near extreme upper left corner. Some of the darker pigments fluoresce but no other inpainting is apparent. Overall this work is in very good condition.
