Condition

The panel is uncradled, and slightly bowed. The paint surface is slightly dirty and the varnish is discoloured. The colours and details are very well preserved. There is a very small loss measuring 0.5 cm. long on the margin lower left, a pin prick loss in the sky just to the right of the trees on the left-hand side, and a diagonal shallow surface scratch 2 cm. long in the foliage just above the figure with the dog left of centre. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals extremely little intervention, with only a handful of pin prick retouchings visible in the sky. In overall very good condition. Offered in a plain stained wood frame with gold painted fillet in very good condition.

This appears to be an early work by Keirincx, produced in Antwerp in the early 1620s, when his paintings were most indebted to Gillis van Coninxloo and David Vinckboons. The figures here were probably executed by another hand. This painting will be included in the forthcoming monograph on Alexander Keirincx by Dr. Ursula Härting, as cat. no. 67.
