Condition
Painting is in good condition. The canvas is unlined. There are vertical stretcher marks along the left and right stretcher and horizontal stretcher marks in the center. There is some craquelure with assumed associated in-painting visible to the central pink rose and the top orange one. When examined under UV light, there is evidence of retouching to the aforementioned pink rose, but a thick varnish impedes further reading of the canvas. There is likely scattered retouching to the rest of the composition
