Condition

The board is sound. The surface is clean and well preserved. The pigments are bright and fresh. There is a layer of varnish on the surface. Some very minor frame abrasion along the extreme perimeter. Under UV light the varnish fluoresces, however there are a few strokes of inpainting visible along the left edge, notable in the upper left corner, in the background to the upper left of the bouquet, to the right edge of the glass at left and in the background between the jug and the bread. Otherwise fine. This work is in good condition.
