There is this image I see clearly in my head, and I know I have seen this piece of artwrok more than once, but it is nothing that I own, I do not know what it is called, and I have tried to google everything I could think of relating to it, and cannot find anything.

It is this sort of art-deco looking woman, very sleek, wearing a black dress, and elegant looking, and she is walking a pair of either Russian wolfhounds, or afghan hounds (Both look quite similar particularly in profile) And it is very simple, not a lot of minute details. I think it is a fairly well known artwork because I know I have seen it several times before.

If anyone can actually tell me the name of it, or a link where I can see it online, it would be much appreciated. I need a physical visual of the work for something I am working on.

That one was cool, and along the lines of what I was looking for but not quite the one I was thinking of. Thank you for the response.

The one that I remember there are two dogs, and I beleive the woman is seen in profile.
