Condition
The following condition report has been provided by Simon Parkes of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc. 502 East 74th St. New York, NY 212-734-3920, simonparkes@msn.com , an independent restorer who is not an employee of Sotheby's.
This oil on paper is in good state. The paper appears to have been originally folded horizontally across the middle and there is a crease between the flowers which is slightly visible. There are a few retouches in the background next to the single flower but apart from this, there are no other retouches. The paint layer is probably slightly dirty, although comfortably so. If it were to be cleaned, more brightness to the flowers would be gained. Overall however the condition is very good.
