TABLE TOP STILL LIFE

signed F. H. Miller (on the reverse)
oil on canvas
11 ¼ x 16 ¼ inches (28.6 x 41.3 cm)

Condition Report:
The work appears to be unlined and tacked to period stretchers.There is surface cracking throughout with a few corresponding small spots of lifting to the paint layer in the green grapes at center. There appears to be frame abrasion along the extreme outer edges with a few scattered spots of inpaint along the outer margins. Under UV light there appear to be additional scattered small spots of inpainting in the purple grapes at center, small lines of inpaint in the orange peach and red apple at right and in the tabletop at far right to address surface cracking. Though some pigments do fluoresce under UV light they appear to be the artist's original.
