Condition report
The painting is under glass and has not been examined out of frame.
The work is not dated and we do not know when it was painted.
Horizontal line/fine crack visible across the centre of the work, most likely caused by a join the board it is painted on.
A few other small lines/fine cracks (craquelure) to the paint surface including to upper left corner, lower centre below green leaves and upper centre on leaf, the largest approximately 6cm long.
Horizontal raised line/ridge across lower section of work but this looks original to painting.
Another small raised ridge to centre left, near edge but again this looks original to work and possible caused by the board it's painted on.
Nothing fluorescing under uv light.
