Condition

The canvas is unlined and in generally good condition. It seems that it was prepared as a rectangular canvas, but the artist painted an oval. The paint surface is in generally good condition aside from some craquelure at the neck of the jug and some frame abrasion along the edges. Under UV, the varnish flouresces lightly and there are no signs of inpainting.
