Condition
The canvas is not lined and examination under UV light reveals no signs of retouching. There is some paint shrinkage visible in the thickest areas of impasto, in particular to the white pigment of the vase and in the yellow of the background, noticeably towards the centre of the left and right edges. There is a varnish stain visible to the left of the base of the vase. There are artist's pinholes in each of the four corners. This work is in good overall condition.
