About the piece
Painted in 1756 by Louis Joseph Watteau, this charming oil on canvas titled 'Les Chiens Savants' (The Learned Dogs) captures a moment of rural entertainment. The work features costumed dogs performing for an audience of villagers, set against a vast and hazy landscape that exemplifies the Rococo interest in pastoral and theatrical themes.
