Here stands a short-haired pointer in a flawless tuxedo, chin lifted and gaze steady, as though about to open a grand society ball. The neat bow tie and crisp white shirtfront nod to the official portraits of the old masters, while the dog's utterly earnest expression slips a wink of humour into all that gala pomp. You can almost picture the guests bowing to such four-legged poise.

This illustration belongs to our line-up of dogs dressed for the evening, part of our Dog Posters collection. It suits a snug living room just as well as a well-kept hallway or the desk of an owner proud of their companion. The plain backdrop lets the model's bearing shine and speaks to anyone who likes a little refinement served with a straight-faced joke.
