Condition Report:
The canvas is not lined and the edges are taped. Inspection under UV light reveals several scattered small spots of retouching, the most prominent of which are a cluster to the front rim of the bowl, a few to the right of the bowl and some to the lower right corner. There are some fine lines of craquelure in places and some minor abrasion to the extreme corners. There is a small and very faint stain below the leaves. There are horizontal stretcher bar marks to the upper and lower edges, only really visible under raking light. This work is in overall good condition.
