Comment:For some years around 1920, Munch had a dispute going with his neighbour Gunnerud, whose watchdog had a rather broad idea of where the boundaries of his master's property ran. This fierce dog – as Munch saw him – became the object of a large number of rather exaggerated drawings and lithographs. For more, see the essay "The Punic War that Raged at Nedre Ullern".
