Condition
The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light reveals some intermittent spots of re-touching towards the central horizontal band of the composition (with some spots associated to paint loss), and there are some scattered minor spots and lines of re-touching to the lower edge and some additional spots of old re-touching to the upper right quadrant. The varnish is slightly discoloured and the work could benefit from a light clean. There is a small spot of pigment loss and slight indentation to the canvas visible on the left of the upper orange and mauve flower and a very fine horizontal line of stable craquelure to the white pigment, approx. 3cm., to the top of the flowering bush. This work is in overall good condition.
