Condition
This work is in very good condition. The canvas is not lined. There are a few hairline craquelure to the surface as well as a 2 inch surface scratch in the lower right corner. Under UV light, some small dots of retouching fluoresce in the brown pigment above the lemon and along the extreme edges.
