Condition
This work is in generally good condition aside from a slightly dirty varnish, light discoloration in the lower right corner and a 1 1/2 inch diagonal crease or repaired tear in the upper right corner.
Under UV, there is some retouching in the lower pot that corresponds to dull areas in the surface when examined with the naked eye. There are also a few similar small spots, particularly on the right edge of the black background next to the top vase.
