63 x 79cm
Estimate $4,000 - $6,000
Crease in canvas seen mid upper area (creating a shadow from front). Slack in canvas, seen more so in the lower left hand corner. A small puncture seen lower center. A minor old tear present on the lower mid left hand side (near purple flowers). Fly spotting, discolouration and yellow patches all visible in the upper sky area on painting. Hairline cracking throughout on paint. Pin head sized paint loss in two areas (right hand center edge and lower center). Dust settled on surface through, would benefit with a decent surface clean and reframe.
