Condition

The board is sound. The colors are bright and fresh and the surface is nicely textured. There is a vertical line to the right of the central vase where the canvas is slightly raised. Under UV light: some minor strokes of inapinting are visible toward he upper right and lower left edges, as well as in the blue background to the upper left of the vase, though a masking layer of varnish is difficult to read through. Overall the work is in good condition.
