Condition
The canvas is not lined and inspection under UV light reveals no obvious signs of retouching. There are fine lines of paint shrinkage in places particularly along the lower edge. There are also scattered lines of craquelure in places in particular to some of the thicker areas of impasto. Some impasto tips have been lost. There is some lovely impasto to some of the thicker pigments in the flowers. There is light surface dirt in places. The work is in overall good condition.
