Condition

The canvas has an old relining. Overall very few restorations are visible here. The paint layer is slightly pressed in the painted wood grains but not overly disturbing. The majority of any retouches found here are in the white sheet of paper, which does have some scattered retouches. Otherwise the main still life elements remain in very good state. Picture may be hung as is. In a carved painted gilt wood frame.
