"Le petit chien" is an anonymous etching depicting a scene likely from a popular novel or play. The image shows a woman reclining in a bed, surrounded by four figures. The woman appears to be the subject of intrigue, with two figures looking curiously at her. In the foreground, a small dog stands amidst a scattering of coins, perhaps suggesting a playful or humorous theme. While the artist remains unknown, the etching style and subject matter are reminiscent of 18th-century French graphic arts, popular for their social commentary and engagement with contemporary literature.
