The work appears sound. The canvas is original. Overall the work appears to be in generally very good condition. There is some undulation to the corners. There are some possible losses to the extreme edges of the canvas, most likely from frame abrasion. There are one or two extremely faint minor lines of craquelure, only visible under very close inspection. There is a horizontal lifted canvas line across the pot in the lower section. There is light surface dirt and specks of studio detritus to the work. There are strong passages of impasto throughout. Inspection under UV reveals one possible small area of florescence at the extreme lower edge. The work is presented in a decorated painted frame.
