Condition
This work is in very good condition. The pigment is rich and bright and the surface is well-preserved. The board is hinged to the mat on the verso of each of the corners. There is evidence of some very minor old frame abrasion to the extreme perimeter of the board. Some surface abrasion to the verso of the board which appears to be linked to the removal of old framer's tape. There is a small area of surface abrasion due to the artist's application of medium at the tip of the flowers in the right-hand pot. Otherwise, fine.
