Condition

The canvas is not lined. Close inspection reveals some shrinkage notably in the dark blue pigment in the background on the right, and in the black and the green. UV light reveals a 3cm line of retouching along the upper edge in the top right corner, and a smaller spot in the blue background to the right of the lowest flower. Otherwise this work remains in overall good condition.
