A still life of flowers including peony, tulips and lilacs in a basket on a ledge with pomegranates and plumsoil on canvas170 x 120cmThe painting is executed in oil on a linen canvas support which has been lined. The picture is in plane and the paint layers are stable. There is a network of age cracks across the surface. There are a few, small scattered losses in the dark background. Localised areas of overpaint appear glossy compared to the original paint layers. The varnish is semi-matte and even with a light layer of surface dirt.
