Condition: The colours of the original are lighter and brighter than the catalogue illustration. The painting has been recently cleaned and varnished. Fine web of stable craquelure is visible on the entire surface of the figure and the fruit basket. When examined under UV light, several small, scattered areas of consolidation and retouching are visible in the fruit basket, in the pink flowers in the upper right, very minor areas of the figure and a small spot in the lower right background. Overall good condition.
