Condition
The canvas is not lined. There appear to be a few minor spots of retouching at all four edges, visible under UV light. There are some further spots of fluorescence to the edge of the cup and in the cloth under the lemons, which may be the artist's original pigments or retouchings. There are a few minor scattered paint losses, some of which are associated with the artist's process. This work is in overall very good condition.
Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue although the blues are more prominent in the white tones in the original.
