Condition
The canvas is not lined and there do not appear to be any retouchings visible under UV light. There is a drip line in the varnish and a small spot of discoloration to the centre of the composition. There is a fly spot to the background in the upper left quadrant. There are two small accretions to the plant, possibly studio dirt. Otherwise this work is in overall very good condition.
