This drawing was probably used for a decoration in the villa of the Tiepolo family itself. The dog was copied from a study previously used by Domenico's father Giambattista Tiepolo for a fresco in Würzburg. The artist signed this relatively small, but elaborate drawing in full. This indicates that Domenico also intended to sell his design as an independent work of art.
