Condition
The canvas is not lined. UV examination reveals a few lines of retouching to the left of the bowl and a further few spots towards the extreme left edge. There is some surface staining to the upper left quadrant and lower right quadrant, barely visible to the eye and which could easily be removed. There are some faint stretcher horizontal stretcher marks to the upper and lower edges. There is some intermittent light frame abrasion to the edges, mainkly to the lower edge. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
