Condition
The canvas is lined. There is a layer of varnish preventing UV from fully penetrating, however UV examination does reveal three lines of retouching towards the lower part of the left edge and some scattered spots of retouching above the rightmost pear, one of which pertains to a repaired hole to the canvas. There are some very fine lines of sporadic craquelure. Overall this work is in good condition.
