The French Bulldog strikes the pose of a seventeenth-century gentleman: lace ruff, rich fabric and a grave stare beneath those big upright ears. The little dog's endearing mug plays against the solemnity of the Vermeer-style portrait, and that very mismatch is exactly what lands. A comedy of nobility, tender and impossible to resist, that makes you want to bow low before this small four-legged aristocrat. The velvety coat, the light resting on the fabric and the dog's dignified expression make for a portrait with both humour and real panache.

This work belongs to our series of dogs portrayed as aristocrats of old, at home in a living room, a hallway or a bedroom that does not take itself too seriously. It will win over breed devotees and fans of early painting, and belongs to our Dog Posters collection.
