Condition Report:
Panel consists of a single board with all of its edges beveled. It is uncradled, flat, and stable. The flowers remain in beautiful condition and the image reads well. Dots of loss that are barely noticeable are along the edges, like in the top right corner, and likely caused by frame abrasions. Inspection under UV shows scattered retouching to the bottom ledge of the marble. Overall painting is in good condition and can hang as is. Offered framed.
