The image of a charming lapdog wearing a red bow was revealed by museum experts during a technical analysis of Picasso's “Le Moulin de la Galette” ahead of an exhibition of his early works.
Conservators at the Guggenheim Museum in New York have uncovered a small dog hidden beneath the surface of a Pablo Picasso painting. The image of a charming lapdog wearing a red bow was revealed by museum experts during a technical analysis of the Spanish artist’s painting “Le Moulin de la Galette” ahead of an exhibition of his early works.
Though Barten cannot say for certain why Picasso opted to remove the canine from the scene, she suggested that the painter might have considered its lively face and “enticing” bow too distracting. “It would have stolen the show,” she said, adding that covering up the dog allows viewers to “look more carefully at all of these other wonderful figures in the composition — to experience the space in different ways.
