Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges resulting in minor areas of loss. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. There is vertical cracking and hairline craquelure throughout, all of which appears stable. There is a pinpoint area of loss towards the bottom of the vase. There are scattered drops of varnish which fluoresce lightly under Ultraviolet light inspection but do not appear to be the result of restoration. Framed.
