Oil on canvas. Not lined. Varnished. Some very minor frame abrasion with a very few associated minute canvas tears in places towards the edges. Some pale surface dirt with a very few spots of accretion in places. A few minute stable craquelures in the thickest impastos towards the lower left corner and in the thickest green impastos of the bunch. A very few small drying cracks in the darker pigments in the lower part of the composition. Examined under ultra-violet light: one area of retouching in the lower left quadrant with its corresponding patch on the reverse. Subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that this work appears to be in generally good condition.
Huile sur toile. L’œuvre n’est pas rentoilée. L’œuvre est vernie. Abrasion très mineure due aux frottements du cadre associée à des zones d’usure et de minuscules déchirures de toile par endroits vers les bords. Légère salissure de surface avec quelques très rares points d’accrétion par endroits. De rares minuscules craquelures stables dans les empâtements les plus épais vers le coin inférieur gauche et dans les empâtements verts les plus épais du bouquet. De très rares et petites craquelures prématurées dans les pigments les plus foncés de la partie inférieure de la composition. Examiné à la lampe à ultra-violets : une zone de retouche dans le quart gauche inférieur avec son patch correspondant au revers. Sous réserve de ce qui précède et selon notre opinion, cette œuvre apparaît en bonne condition générale.
