## Commentary

Like the other Nabis, Roussel did not restrict himself to easel painting but also produced murals, stained glass and lithographs: the colour lithograph the Training the Dog, which he contributed to the anthology Amours \(Paris, 1892-98\) published by the dealer Ambroise Vollard, was the first of several such projects in which he developed the Symbolist character of his work. This lithograph is printed in four colours: white, black, pale green and pinky beige, with plate tone in the margins, on cream wove paper.
