Condition

This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges, particularly at the corners and the bottom left where there are some surface abrasions. There is evidence of craquelure in the green plant leaves on the left side, which has resulted in spots of minor paint loss. Stretcher bar impressions are slightly visible along the right and left sides. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
