Condition
Executed on cream wove paper laid down on canvas. There is a pinhole to the lower left corner. There is a milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating. However examination under UV light appears to reveal some small dots of retouching in the brown pigment towards the centre of the pichet, a few further dots of retouching to the upper left corner and some further smaller dots and lines of retouching in places, notably along the right edge and the upper right corner. This work is in overall good condition.
