Gainsborough's

was commissioned by the father of the boy. When Gainsborough painted a dog if the right, lower corner, the father complained that he paid for a picture of his son...not a picture of a dog. With that, Gainsborough "edited" the picture.

I guess that this makes this commissioned work "NOT art"?
