Kändler first modeled the Bolognese dog in 1769. Bred for centuries in Bologna, they were favored as lapdogs in 18th century Germany along with the ubiquitous pug or Mops. See Christie's, New York, 16 April 2002, lot 79 for another pair circa 1770 formerly in the Collection of Mr. & Mrs. Saemy Rosenberg.
