Buttoned into a flawless tuxedo, bow tie perfectly straight, this Great Dane poses with the poise of a red-carpet regular. Its towering frame and dignified air, captured in the style of the old masters' official portraits, lend the whole thing an elegance quietly undercut by a hint of self-mockery. Its honest, almost solemn stare contrasts with the absurdity of the moment: a dog in evening wear that seems to be waiting for a gala dinner to begin. You would happily give it the seat of honour.

This portrait is one of our dogs dressed up in black-tie finery, ready to browse in our Dog Posters collection. It brings a hushed sophistication to a living room, a dining room or an entrance hall, works against old panelling and pale walls alike, and will resonate with anyone who has a soft spot for these gentle giants.
