Condition
Canvas is unlined. The surface is nicely texture and the pigments are bright. There are a few potential losses to the canvas in the upper left corner, the largest of which is approximately 1/2 inch in length. There is some stable hairline craquelure visible the flowers at the center, as well as a very faint stretcher bar mark extending vertically through the center of the canvas. Under UV light there is an uneven layer of varnish which fluoresces however no inpainting is apparent. This work is in overall good condition
