Condition
The canvas has an old relining. Under ultraviolet light the old varnish fluoresces opaquely over the still life, making the surface difficult to read, however scattered small spots and fine strokes are visible, primarily in the background. This work is in good overall condition, and is ready to hang.
Held in a decorative gilt frame.
