Condition
The canvas is laid down on panel. There is a thick layer of uneven varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating, however UV examination reveals some spots of fluorescence in places along the upper edge, towards the upper right corner and to the central apple. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
