Condition

Good condition. Original canvas. There is a layer of varnish on the surface. Some minor rubbing to the extreme edges due to frame abrasion. Two inch repaired tear at center left of green vase. Under UV light, retouching in vase to address repaired tear. A few scattered dots of inpainting along edges to address frame abrasion, as well as a nailhead size spot in the lower left corner. Colors: The blues in the background are a bit richer, otherwise colors are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration.
