There are faint stretcher bar marks towards the upper and left edges, with a few associated fine lines of craquelure. There are further instances of craquelure to the painting, including to the pink rose, the lilies in the upper right corner, the lower left lilies, and towards the lower right quadrant, mostly only visible upon close inspection.
