INTERIOR WITH CHILDREN AND DOGS, WINTER AFTERNOON Oil on gessoed board, egg tempera, sable brush Wellington, winter Anonymous donor Notable for its centripetal composition: everything in the room leans inward, as if the warmth itself exerts gravitational pull. The three figures catalogued here — one seated and intent, one horizontal, one standing with arms open toward nothing in particular — represent the full taxonomy of human attention. The dogs, distributed at the margins, perform their ancient function: they hold the edges of the world. The table holds what remains of abundance. The windows hold the grey. Condition: excellent. Subject: ongoing.
