Condition

The canvas is lined. There is a thick layer of varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however there appear to be a few minor spots of darkening to the left vase and a few along the centre of the upper edge. There are some fine lines of shrinkage in places to the darker pigments. Otherwise this work is in good overall condition.
