The artist signed it under the epilett. It looks like Dolomino, and then '90. The first face is the "genera", look carefully at his eye and nose and an old man will appear. Then, a seniorita holding a child is at the ear. There is also a face at the extreem right of the outside of the arch, and it looks like another person is painted in the tail of the dog. That's all I see.

There is more than that. There is a face of a baby in the upper left corner, between the post and the frame. Then there are two other faces on the right side of the post, one above the other. Looks like a woman on the top and maybe another old man below her.

Looks like the work of Octavio Ocampo, called " General's Family".http://www.visionsfineart.com/ocampo/aa_index.html

The General's Family There are 9 people in this picture, called The Generals Family, which is a work by the Mexican artist Octavio Ocampo. There are nine different faces in this picture combining to make up the face of the General and to tell the story and the secrets of his life. Although perceived as a distinguished gentleman of solid stock, the images of his past betray his emergence from a peasant family and his impoverished beginnings. We see his mother and father, his wife and other members of his family, even his dog (masquerading as his hand) and as you study the painting you see behind the facade and read the story of a remarkable life...
