Condition
The canvas is not lined. Under UV light: There is one nail head sized spot of inpainting just below and to the right of the central white flower. In addition, there are several pin dots of inpainting along the bottom edge to address prior frame abrasion, as well as a larger stroke near the lower let corner and a two-inch diagonal line of inpainting across the lower right corner. There are two pin dot retouches at the extreme upper left corner and a few small strokes below the top edge to the left of the center. Otherwise fine, the work is in very good condition.
