Photograph of the painting 'Alpine Mastiffs Reanimating a Distressed Traveller' by Edwin Landseer (1802-73). The painting depicts two dogs, Alpine Mastiffs, standing over the body of an unconscious man. The man is partially covered in snow. The dog on the left licks the man's hand. On the right side of the painting, a group of people, presumably a rescue party, move towards the dogs.
