Wilhelm Trübner - Great Dane with Sausages: "Ave, Caesar, morituri te salutant" (1877)
Apapently, the artist's dog was a really professonal model, patiently sitting still with the sausages hanging over his snout while he was being painted. During the work, Trübner had to leave for a while to get the door, and when he came back, he found his dog still posing dutifully. Everything was the same, with one minor exception: the sausages had disappeared without trace. (source, in German)
