William Rodman & Co., Belfast
Private Collection, United States

This condition report has been kindly provided by Simon Parkes Art Conservation Inc.: This painting is unlined and on its original stretcher. The paint layer is clean and varnished. There are three dots of retouching in the back of the dog seated on the far right and a couple of spots on the left foreleg of the dog in the upper left, but the condition is otherwise beautiful. The work should be hung as is.
