This model portrays Madame Georges Menier's dog, Toy. It was commissioned in 1930 and delivered to her in 1931. The cast was subsequently donated to the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon. Only five examples are known to have been cast during the artist's lifetime. Cast at a later date, the present lot was previously in the collection of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé and shows a great resemblance with Saint Laurent's beloved French Bulldog, Moujik.
