Condition
The unlined canvas in overall very good condition. With a drip of surface soiling at center, in the background between the flowers. In the top right background area, there is another tiny dot of soiling. With a few areas of light craquelure in the heavily painted passages, for instance at left center. Examination under UV light reveals several dots fluorescing, but we believe these are due to the aforementioned soiling rather than inpainting. See Specialist's photos for more details.
