Condition Report
Framed: 32 x 28 1/2 inches. 
The canvas is not lined. The paint surface is in good condition, with only minor craquelure on the copper pots. The surface has been cleaned, although it appears yellow. Under UV light: there still remnants of old varnish on the dark colors. There is very minor inpainting along the cabinet at left; some darker areas at upper right seem to be due to uneven cleaning but don't appear to be inpainting.
