Condition
The canvas is not lined. There are some small paint losses to some of the thicker pigments in the flowers with some associated small retouchings visible under UV light. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition and the flowers have a lovely rich impasto surface.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue.
