Italian Greyhounds

Two Italian Greyhounds are frolicking in the park of a villa which can be seen in the background, behind clumps of Mediterranean trees. The Italian Greyhound is described as follows by the author:

These animals have the most delicate skin and coat, and are the most elegantly formed of all the canine race, and being at the same time, when in high condition and defended from cold, the most sprightly, playful, and inoffensive, are the proper objects of the mere amateurs of the dog, who look for nothing farther in him, than the delight of his society.
