Condition

This work is in very good condition and should be hung as is. There is very minor, pale foxing visible in the blank background and a tiny repaired pinhole in the center of the left edge, just above the upturned leaf. Aside from a few other minor defects, the work presents itself extremely well, with vibrant coloration and crisp lines. In a carved and gilt wood frame with glass.
