Condition
This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There is evidence of light wear along the edges of the canvas due to abrasions with the frame, but this does not affect the overall image. The pores of the canvas in some areas are visible as the paint was dry when it was applied. The paint layers are healthy overall. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals one tiny spot of retouching slightly above the mouth of the vase. Framed.
