Le Petit Cavalier (The Little Knight)
Coloured engraving, 13.4 x 17.4 cm, by Louis-Marin Bonnet (1743-93), designed by Jean-Baptiste Huet
Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris
 

A young boy in a bright outfit rides playfully atop a large dog, while a girl in a yellow and green dress walks beside them holding a floral wreath. The dog’s size and calm demeanour make it appear almost as though it's a gentle steed, pacing along without effort.
