Description
- Rosa Bonheur
- Portrait of a mastiff-labrador in a landscape
- Signed lower right Rosa Bonheur
- Oil on canvas
- 80 x 102 cm ; 32 1/4 by 40 1/4 in.
Condition
The painting is relined and seems to be on its original stretcher.
Under UV light, there seems to be an old restored tear on the dog's stomach (but doesn't fluoresce) ; a minor repaint appears in the lower right. There are probably one or two small restorations but not visible under UV light.
The matter is thin in some areas, on the dog's mouth for example.
