Condition
Canvas is not lined. There is a layer of varnish on the surface. UV inspection reveals a few small spots of fluorescence in the brown pigment to the right of the extreme lower edge. Faint undulation to the right of the left-most hortensia. Some very light frame-rubbing to the edges. There is a lovely impasto. This work is overall in very good condition.
