Condition

The canvas is not lined. UV examination reveals retouching to the lower quarter of the extreme left edge, possibly associated with frame rubbing, and some spots to the right outline of the lower right pink flower and in the same area towards the curtain at the right edge. There is a horizontal stretcher bar mark visible to the canvas, which has led to some fine lines of associated craquelure. Overall this work is in good condition.
