Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the background tends more towards a pastel green, and the colours of the flowers tend more towards pastel. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals some isolated cracks to the glazing of the leaves. A red and a yellow flower towards the lower right corner had some small losses which have been restored.
