Condition

The canvas is not lined. It has not been possible to see the work entirely unframed. Examination under UV light reveals a few tiny dots of retouching towards the center of composition.The canvas is slightly undulating. There is a dot of paint loss in the yellow pigment above the leaf. There are a few tiny fly spots in places and fine lines of stable craquelure in areas. There is some frame rubbing along the extreme edges. The work is in overall good condition and could benefit from a light clean.
