Condition
The canvas is laid down on board. The board is stable and is slightly concave. Examination under UV light reveals a few tiny dots of retouching along the extreme edges associated with frame rubbing. There are a few minor small scratches with a few associated dots of paint losses most predominately to the lower part of the composition. The work is slightly dusty and could benefit from a light clean. The impasto is nice and well preserved notably to the pink flowers. This work is in overall very good condition.
