Franz Werner von Tamm

A l'œil nu, le tableau se présente dans un état de conservation très satisfaisant. Il a fait l'objet d'un réentoilage dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, correctement réalisé. Il a fait l'objet d'un nettoyage récent correctement réalisé. A la lampe UV, le tableau se présente sous un vernis vert homogène, uniforme avec de légères reprises vers le bord gauche, entre les pattes du chien, dans le fond et dans le plumage de l'animal au centre. To the naked eye, the painting is in a very good overall condition. It has been relined in the second half of the XXth century in a good way. It has been cleaned, also in a good way. Under the UV light, the painting is under a green even varnish with small restorations around the ledt edge and in between the dog legs, in the background and in the feather of the animal.
