In good condition. Craquelure in places of the impasto parts. Slightly rubbed in the upper left corner. A small, horizontal break in the layer of paint, canvas rebacked on the reverse. A further small backing on the reverse is barely recognizable on recto.
A few retouched spots across the surface are recognizable under ultraviolet light. Overall, the still life impresses with its vibrant colors and the lively application of paint.
