Perched on her stubby legs yet proud as a duchess, this Lady Corgi faces the lens with all the poise of a baroque aristocrat. Lace ruff, silken drape, soft Vermeer-style light: everything is in place to admit her to the gallery of great portraits. The deep red of the hanging and the muted gold of the embroidery frame her attentive little face, as if to remind us that a grand character sometimes hides in a small build. Everything, that is, save perhaps the length of her legs, which sets off the smile at once.

This illustration is part of our series of dogs dressed as old-world nobles, found in our Dog Posters collection. It brings flair to a hallway, a study or a wall of mismatched frames, and speaks to devoted corgi fans and lovers of witty decor alike. It adds a note of colour and fantasy wherever the room was short on daring, without ever weighing things down.
