Specialist note
Diego crée le modèle des deux chiens représentés sur ces tables d'après la photographie d'Assouan, le premier labrador de Monsieur de Givenchy. Il les représentera parfois isolément, notamment pour les placer sur une pierre tombale (voir illustration page 46), parfois réunis en groupe, ou seuls, sur une terrasse, avec une coupelle.

He would portray them sometimes on their own, especially to commemorate their surrogate on its tomb (see ill. p.46), sometimes together as a group or even separately, on a plinth with a bowl.
