Condition

Canvas is not lined but the edges are reinforced with tape. Under UV light: strokes of possible inpainting near the right edge to the right of the jug and in the background inside the jug handle. There are a few minor strokes above the bottom edge to the left and right of the central design. These possibly inpainted areas could also be pentimentos. Otherwise fine, this work is in good condition.
