Condition
The canvas is not lined and examination under UV light does not reveal any signs of retouching. The canvas is very gently undulating. There is a small spot of paint loss to the right part of the extreme upper edge and a further small spot of paint loss to the white flower in the lower left quadrant of the composition. There is a small puncture in the canvas with an associated dent and tiny specks of paint loss just above the right handle of the vase. This work is in overall good condition.
