Condition
The canvas is lined. Under UV light: There are strokes of inpainting along the left, right and top edges to address prior frame abrasion. Numerous pin dot retouches throughout the composition, mostly in the background, especially in the upper register of the painting. These appear to be addressing some pigment separation which occurred previously. There are also several pin dot retouches in the base of the vase and in the background directly under the blossom at the center of the upper left quadrant. A few scattered pin dot retouches above the lower edge, mostly at the lower right corner. Otherwise fine, the work is in fairly good condition.
