The work has been examined framed. The canvas is lined. There is a milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however examination under UV light appears to reveal no evidence of retouching. . There are a few small lines of craquelure in places notably to the right hand pitcher’s handle. There is frame rubbing along the extreme edges. Surface is a bit dirty. This work is in overall good condition and could benefit from a light clean.
