Galerie du Drap d'Or, Cannes
Private collection, Cannes (acquired from the above in 1967)
Thence by descent to the present owner

The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light reveals dots and lines of retouching throughout the composition, predominately to the upper part of the composition in the flowers and along all extreme edges. There are small areas of paint shrinkage with associated flecks of paint loss in places, notably along the left edge and to the upper right quadrant. There is some minor frame rubbing along the extreme edges. There are fine lines of craquelure, predominately to the thicker white pigments in the flowers and vase. This work is in fairly good condition.
