Condition report
The board is sound. Areas of bloom, particularly in the lower right corner, otherwise the paint surface appears to be in good, clean condition throughout. The background appears to have been varnished to a greater degree than the cyclamen, likely to be the hand of the artist; ultraviolet reveals no sign of retouching. held in a plaster gilt frame with some losses to mouldings.
