Condition
The canvas is not lined. UV examination reveals retouching along all four edges, probably due to frame rubbing, with some minor flecks of paint loss in places. There is a 10cm line of old retouching to the left of the base of the vase and another (5cm) to the right of the base of the vase, also associated with paint loss. There are 6 artist's pin holes along the extreme edges. The canvas is slightly undulating and there is a spot of retouching to the upper right corner. This work is in overall good condition.
