Condition
The canvas is not lined and there is no evidence of retouching visible under UV light. There are some tiny flecks of paint loss related to frame rubbing in places along the upper edge and some fine lines of paint shrinkage to some of the thicker pigments. There is a tiny stain on the lilac flower. Otherwise this work is in overall very good condition.
