I see this recurring motif in art deco, of a lady walking her dogs, or Diana hunting with her hounds. Does anybody know why it was a thing?
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has many artefacts that held me captive during my three visits there, but none more so than the wonderful examples of ceramic art from all ages. Being a ceramicist myself I looked in awe at works from the stone age right through to modern times. Perfect porcelain shapes and brilliant glazes perfected by skilled craftsmen. Here a just a few samples - I have not included all the domestic ware on show, as this would fill several blog pages ...

Lobed Dish - Japan - Edo Period - early 18th Century Vase - Japan - Edo Period - late 18th Century Arhat - China - Liao Dynasty - ca. 1000 Another Favourite - but a bad image I'm sorry - I love this glazed decoration ... no details Vase with Peony Scroll - China - Northn Song Dynasty - 11th Century Vase - Nils Emil Lundstrom - Sweden - 1903 Vase - Fernand Thesmar - France - 1904 Coffee Set - Leon Kann - France - 1900 Two Handled Bowl - China - Wanli Period - 16th Century And then from the Ancient Middle East ... these wonderful decorated stonepaste and earthenware pieces from Iran and Turkey ... and don't get me started on pottery from Ancient Greece ...
