Condition
This work is in very good condition. The canvas is not lined. The edges of the canvas are reinforced with tape. There is a layer of varnish to the surface which is slightly yellowed. The impasto is rich and textured. There are a few think stable cracks in the thickest areas of pigment, especially in the white petals. Otherwise, fine. Under UV light: there is a small divet at the upper right of the bouquet with three possible pindot areas of retouching and some other small scattered pindot losses.
