oil on canvas
52¼ by 77¾ in.
132.7 by 197.5 cm
Condition Report:
The work is unlined, but a strip lining has been added to additions to the canvas, which were very likely added by the artist himself along the left, right and lower edges. The seams of the canvas additions are visible to the naked eye. There is minor surface dirt and dust with a few isolated pin dots of accretion. Scattered, widely patterned craquelure and pigment separation visible in the area covering the figures and dogs, with finely patterned craquelure in the sky. Frame abrasion visible on the right edge of the picture.
Under UV:
The work has been selectively cleaned and selectively strengthened. There are scattered retouches mainly to address craquelure, including a few larger areas in the upper left and in the sky. Strengthening and additional smaller areas of retouching visible throughout figures and dogs. There is brushy, broadly applied inpainting to the aforementioned seams.
