HENRI FANTIN-LATOUR | Pommes

This work is in very good condition. The canvas has been relined. The colors are bright and fresh and present nicely. The impasto is well preserved. Faint vertical stretcher bar mark. Stable thin cracqulure throughout the composition. Under UV light: strokes of inpainting along all four edges to address previous frame abrasion as well as some small strokes in the background of the lower register and in the basket. Some orange and red pigments also fluoresce. Otherwise, fine.
