Condition
This work is in very good overall condition. There is a faint and unobtrusive ½ inch smudge located ¾ of an inch from the right edge along the bottom edge. There are a few areas of scattered, very fine craquelure at the pull margins. There is evidence of light wear and handling around the edges. Under ultraviolet light inspection, two spots in the upper right flower fluoresce but do not appear to be the result of inpainting. Unframed.
