Condition

The canvas has not been lined. There is some light craquelure in the lower half of the composition and one small spot of paint flaking in the red flower in the upper right corner (not visible in the catalogue illustration) which could benefit from consolidation. Ultra-violet light reveals some intermittent strokes of retouching in the right and lower framing edge. This picture is otherwise in good condition and ready to hang. Presented in a decorative frame with a nameplate.
