Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is wear and handling along the edges including very minor hairline craquelure at the pull margins, two pinpoints to the canvas at the lower right turning edge and some light but visible handling marks and light soiling along the edges. A soft indentation is visible along the upper left edge and the canvas is slightly loose on its stretcher. Under very close inspection there is a minor surface abrasion visible to the left of the green painted spoon. Also under very close inspection there are 3 small areas at the upper left of the box and middle left of the box of stable hairline cracking. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, the aforementioned areas of cracking fluoresce lightly but do not appear to be the result of restoration. Framed.
