Description

  • A still life with figs, a melon, peaches, pears, grapes, cheese, a cucumber, cherries and other fruits on a table
  • oil on canvas, unframed

Condition

The canvas has a recent, firm relining. The paint surface is secure, although somewhat flattened, under a glossy varnish. Inspection under UV light is somewhat impeded by the aforementioned varnish but scattered old retouching work, and a central vertical restored damage, does fluoresce. Offered unframed.
