Condition
The canvas has been relined. There is craquelure throughout the work and old frame abrasions along the edges especially in the upper left and along the lower edge. Under ultraviolet light there appears to be a slightly opaque varnish. There is very minor inpainting visible along the right side of the bottom edge and intermittently along the right edge consistent with frame abrasions. There is also a ½ in. area of possible retouching to the wolf on the left. This piece appears to be in stable condition.
