In general the appearance is excellent. The varnish is clear and even, and the paint layer is stable and sound. There are some tiny retouching visible under UV light, mainly to the petals of the right hand flower and to the orange book. There are some minor spots of surface dirt typical for a painting of this age. There is an area with thin passages of paint above the flowers - this may be due to light surface abrasion, or it may be intentional by the artist. The frame is in good condition.
