Felice Carena

This work appears to be in generally good overall conditions. The work is relined. It is slighty wavy by the lower left corner. There are two minor punctifor paint losses along the left border, along the right margin toward the upper part and others very small along the lower border toward left visible from the catalogue illustration. There are slight traces of threadlike and stable craquelure along the left border toward the lower part, along the upper margin toward right and toward the centre, along the right border toward the centre and lower toward left. There are some retouches visible under the UV light, one along the upper margin toward left and toward right above the pumpkin, one in the centre toward left next to the pear and others scattered on the lower part of the painting toward left above the shell and along the lower border in the centre.
