Condition
The canvas is not lined. There are artist's pinholes in each corner. Examination under UV light reveals no signs of retouching. There is some minor, stable pigment shrinkage visible to the black pigments, most notably in the lower left leaf, and some fine lines of craquelure in places. This work is in overall good condition.
