Condition

The medium is oil on canvas. The canvas is unlined. The work is in good overall condition. There is a small loss in the upper center, about 1/4 in. long. There is some cracquelure throughout, in particular a circular network of cracquelure near the center of the canvas. There is some extremely minor undulation to the canvas. Under UV there is no apparent inpainting. In the center of the canvas a few of the flower leaves appear to fluoresce but this is likely to do with the pigments. The work presents well.
