Condition

The canvas is unlined. There are minor frame abrasions visible to the top and bottom edges. The flowers and tress are richly textures. The colors are rich and vibrant. Under UV light, scattered retouching is visible along extreme bottom and lower right edges as well as some scattered strokes along the upper right edge of the cloud at the center of the lefthand part of the sky. Certain original pigments fluoresce darkly including the darker green pigments in the trees along the top edge and the red at lower center. Overall the work is in very good condition.
