The Papillon is a small dog with large, luxurious ears that earned it its name, the French word for butterfly. The Papillon is believed to be one of the oldest of the toy breeds.
History
The Papillon probably originated in continental Europe and was a favorite at the French court. The most famous owner was Henry III ; documentation of his devotion to the breed lies in his declaration of the Papillon as the official dog of the Royal Court during his tenure. Other famous owners are said to have been Marie Antoinette , and Madame de Pompadour .
I always look for details in my drawings, or paintings.
