Not examined out of the frame. This work is in very good overall. The canvas has a thin lining applied with a non-wax adhesive. The surface is stable and remains well textured. The only retouches are to the artist’s intentionally thin pigment beneath the dogs in the floor, in a few thin drying cracks in the upper right, the upper center and center left, and four tiny retouches on the left edge and three on the right edge. The animals and figure show no retouches. The work should be hung in its current state.
