Condition

The board is slightly raised in the upper centre, however it is overall flat and even. Ultraviolet light reveals some scattered clusters with thin strokes of retouching, notably in the right edge of the upper and the edges of the leftmost apple, in the drapery in the lower left quadrant, and scattered in the green drapery. Apart from some spots of frame rubbing along the extreme upper edge, this work is in good overall condition.Held in a decorative cream-gold painted frame.The colours, especially the greens, are richer in the original than in the catalogue illustration.
