The vertical remains of a full cradle are in situ to the reverse. The paint layer is stable and secure and there are raised vertical ridges of paint following the wood grain and visible in raking light. The paint layer is well preserved and in good original condition. Minor loss down the vertical ridges has been recently addressed along with very minor strengthening to thinness of the paint to the background; this is visible under U-V light along with a reduction of the pentiment around the red tulip upper right. The signature is well preserved and the energetic textured brushwork and the crisply applied paint is in a good original state. Fine details and chromatic subtleties are retained. Minor strengthening to the butterfly lower right can be detected. Overall, the painting presents well."In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above.
