Condition
The canvas has not been lined. There are pin-head size nail holes visible in the four corners, a pattern of hairline craquelure throughout the picture and some small scattered dirt spots. There are also two very small spots of paint loss in the background in the lower right and lower left quadrant of the composition, and one spot of flaking in the leaf to the left. However, these are not distracting and are mainly visible under close inspection. Ultra-violet light reveals no sign of restoration. Overall, this work is in good condition and ready to hang.
Presented in a silver wooden frame.
