Condition

"The following condition report has been provided by Henry Gentle, an independent restorer who is not an employee of Sotheby's. The canvas is lined and the paint surface is raised in some areas; there are bulges to the canvas along the bottom edge. Most of the edges have been consolidated and there is restoration to be seen, a restored tear through the globe artichoke, lower right, and a small circular restored damage through the melon. There are further minor losses to the background and a degree of abrasion to the paint surface here also, including the orange, left. Despite the above there are discernible areas of well preserved paint. The varnish is discoloured, removing it would improve the overall tonality. Offered in a dark wood frame with a gold sight edge in good condition."
