Abstract
Suggests that the figure of Apollo in Claude's <i>Mercury Stealing the Flocks of Admetus from Apollo</i>, dated 1660 (Wallace Collection, London), has been altered, and the dog added, by a later hand. Discusses related drawings and evidence from the 1978 restoration; traces the early history of the painting; tentatively dates the alterations to the 17th century. -- AATA
