Condition
The canvas is not lined. UV examination reveals some scattered spots and lines of retouching, predominantly to the lower and left edges as well as some spots of retouching to the orange pigment of the melons. There is some very minor and barely visible paint shrinkage to the dark purple pigment of the cabbage. This work is in overall good condition.
