This work is in beautiful condition. The tacking edges have been reinforced and the work has been stretched onto a new stretcher. The paint layer is stable and clean. There are some old tack holes around the extreme edges that are un-retouched. There is a line of retouches in the center of the bottom edge. There are a few isolated dots of retouch along the edges. There is one horizontal line in the leaves in the upper left that has received some retouches. There are hardly any other retouches. The condition is extremely good.
