Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There are extremely fine scattered surface abrasions along the top portion of the painting which are only visibile under raking light conditions. There are additional horizontal abrasions located in the lower portion of the vase. Fine vertical abrasions in the white paint are bisected by the peach lines and as such are presumably inherent to the artist's working method. Under ultra violet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
