Subject depicts a dog (apparently a Pyranean Wolf Hound), laying with his/her head resting on his/her front left paw., Originally, this work was attributed to M. Auizot in Sotheby's inventory list. However, it is possible that the inscription was misinterpreted and the dog was the gift, not the watercolour., This was painted the year of Madeleine's sister's (Rachel Emily) marriage to Sir Arthur Hamilton Gordon.
