Gentlemanly bearing, a flawless bow tie and a sharp gaze beneath that marbled coat: this Australian Shepherd sits for its portrait in a tuxedo as though presiding over a gala dinner. The illustration borrows the language of the old official portrait, the earnest gravity of the great masters, only to subvert it with warmth and a wink. The result carries as much style as it does humour, and holds its own beside a genuine family portrait.

The subject belongs to our gallery of impeccably dressed dogs, a series built on the contrast between the solemn pose and the very doggy face wearing it. Over a sideboard, in a study or an entrance hall, this portrait sets the tone with real poise and is bound to spark a conversation. Its restrained palette settles easily into most interiors, from the traditional to the resolutely modern. Fans of the breed and of vintage-minded decorating will find it in our Dog Posters collection.
