Under UV Light there is some light sweeping restoration in between the flowers and the edge in the lower right and lower left corners and some minor retouchings appear on the red rose to the right of the urn and some flecked spot retouchings further to the right where the paint has separated and been filled and retouched by a restorer.

The catalogue illustration compares well to the original painting.
