Strapped into a ceremonial military uniform, gleaming medals and golden epaulettes included, a husky poses with the gravity of a high-ranking officer sitting for posterity. Painted in the manner of the old masters' official portraits, it blends a thoroughly martial poise with a mischievous wink, the canine sitter's imperturbable solemnity brushing deliciously against the absurd.

This noble yet playful illustration extends our gallery of four-legged companions, there to browse in the Dog Posters collection. In an office, a library, a living room or a hallway, it commands a classical presence while slipping in a touch of humour that lightens all that solemnity. It will win over dog lovers and admirers of old-master painting who enjoy an elegant, well-crafted parody. It is hard to decide whether to salute the officer or burst out laughing at so much canine solemnity, and that delicious hesitation is exactly the point of the piece.
