Condition
The canvas has not been lined. The surface is a little dirty with some minor scuffs and the work would benefit greatly from a light cleaning. There is a minor repaired tear to the canvas at the extreme right edge which does not interfere with the composition. Under UV light: a couple stains fluoresce lightly and inpainting is present in a 1.5 by .25 inch area toward the bottom right corner. There is some very minor flaking present along the left edge of the vase. The work is in overall very good condition.
