Some discoloration to the fabric mat, as photographed; some very light disturbance to the image itself (only close inspection reveals). There are some slightly vertical curved lines on the leaves on the bottom right. These are reflections on the glass, the result of the photography, not anything relating to the work itself. Various small damages to the finish of the frame.

Dimensions: About 21 1/2 by 22 3/4; the image itself being abut 15 wide, 16 1/4 high. Age not determined, although from the age of the paper on the back of the frame it's obviously "vintage" or beyond.

In the final analysis, we have a captivating, energetic painting to enliven the home. See less
