Condition
Canvas is lined and buckled on its stretcher. Surface is covered with a thick layer of very slightly yellowed varish. Impasto of the flowers is well preserved. Some light surface scratches to top left edge of composition and some minor frame abrasion has occurred to the extreme left edge of the composition. Under UV light a line of inpainting along the left edge of the leftmost flower fluoresces, though the varish is otherwise difficult to read through and no other restorations are clearly visible. Work is in good condition and would benefit greatly from the canvas being restretched and relined.
