Condition

SURFACE: in good condition; signature is very indistinct because of flaking in this one area--one can make-out a "B" and the existence of the rest of a name UNDER ULTRA VIOLET: a small repaint on the large pot/vase at left in foreground; there are many spots where various pigments are still fluorescing naturally--hard to tell if there's more inpainting--seems unlikely
