A hulking silhouette folded onto the bowl, wrinkled muzzle bent over the paper: our Bullmastiff reads the morning news with the gravity of a family patriarch. All the humour of the illustration comes from the contrast between the mastiff's imposing frame and the most ordinary domestic scene imaginable. You can easily picture it curling its jowls at a headline it dislikes, deaf to the outside world. The soft range of greys brings out the folds of its muzzle and its deeply absorbed expression.

This canine portrait joins our gallery of animals caught in very human moments, part of the Dog Posters collection. It adds character to a toilet wall or a small cloakroom, and lands well with lovers of large breeds and anyone who enjoys decor with a self-deprecating streak. It turns a cramped little space into a small theatre of the absurd, much to visitors' delight.
