The panel is cradled to the reverse and is providing sound support for the picture. There is a fine pattern of craquelure to the paint surface and an even glossy varnish. Overall the picture presents very well with the wealth of drawing and detail readily appreciable. The examination under UV reveals scattered inpainting and retouching to the flowers in the centre of the composition, notably the roses in the centre right. There is also some inpainting to mask some of the craquelure in some of the flowers, and a horizontal panel join that runs the width of the composition through the upper centre; there is associated retouching along this join.
