Condition

Canvas is lined. SURFACE: in good condition, generally; some scattered craquelure in the browns at left--a few shinier spots look like old repaints UNDER ULTRA VIOLET: work was selectively cleaned at one point, as lighter areas (specifically the flowers) show clearly--the rest of the work is under heavier varnish and hard to see; with this in mind, flowers are clean except for strengthening to two small leaves between the pink (lower) and red (above it) flowers at center; a small horizontal repaired tear below leaf just under basket at center; a few small repaired tears/holes above flowers in brown background at left
