Condition
Canvas is not lined. Colors are bright and fresh. Thre is a rich and textured impasto throughout the flower blossoms and fruit. There are a few hairline vertical cracks visible in teh yellow background at center and upper right as well as in the grey pigments to the right of the leftmost vase. Under UV light a few think strokes of inpainting fluoresce in two of the white blossoms at lower center to address this verticle cracking, one small line in the background at upper right and a few tiny pindots to address prior frame abrasion near the extreme upper left and upper right corners, otherwise fine. Work is in good condition.
