Condition
A fairly recent relining is firm and stable. the paint surface has been very slightly pressed, however detail still reads very well and colors remain strong. examination under ultraviolet light reveals some retouching to the top of green grapes, some on orange at right and some inpaints to craquelure here and there on fruit. a small retouch can be seen on blue ribbon and some scattered in background. there is no need for further work and painting may be hung as is.
In a plain brown wood frame with gilt inner edge.
