Condition
Oil on canvas with an old lining. The surface of the painting is somewhat dry; there are a few errant drips of varnish extending from the top edge towards center. There is a stable web of craquelure over the entire work. Under UV light, it appears the work may have been selectively cleaned in the past. There are dots and dashes of retouching scattered around and within the flowers, mainly in the darks and shadows. In overall good condition.
