Condition
Canvas is not lined. Under UV light a thick layer of varnish is somewhat difficult to read through, but there are a few pindots of retouching in the fruit several inches to the right of the center of the composition as well as a small stroke to the right side of the bottom edge and a few small strokes at the center of the top edge to address frame abrasion. Also visible under UV light is a possible older generation of inpainting to address cracking at left side of composition as well as strokes along upper edge and at center right. Otherwise fine, work is in very good condition.
