Several hundred kilos of white fur wedged onto a bowl far too small for the job: the polar bear in this drawing reads his newspaper with pure arctic composure. The contrast between this giant of the ice floes and such a thoroughly ordinary domestic moment is exactly what makes the picture work. Calm and unflappable, he turns the pages as if nothing were amiss, and you can only laugh at his nerve.

This portrait joins our series of wild animals caught up in human routine, found in the Animal Portraits collection. On a toilet or bathroom wall, it brings a gust of polar humour to a space that rarely gets any attention. It will win over lovers of the frozen north as much as fans of decor that never takes itself too seriously. The white fur sits effortlessly in a bright bathroom, while the newspaper adds the touch of black that holds the whole thing together. A large size pushes the sense of scale even further, for maximum smiles.
