Condition
The work is in good condition overall. Upon very close observation, a minor pin-sized hole is visible on the middle of the top edge, as well as some tiny craquelures on the thicker paint layers, particularly on yellow flowers on the middle left, along with a few associated areas of paint loss. There is evidence of a minute paint loss on the tree trunk (middle right). Examination under ultraviolet light shows no sign of restoration. Framed, under Plexiglas.
