Black bow tie over a crisp white shirt front, a chocolate Labrador poses in full evening wear, ready for a gala that is only waiting on him. The classic treatment, worthy of an official portrait, plays elegantly on the model's earnest air and on the honest, good-natured gaze that makes this breed so easy to love. The effect swings pleasantly between real refinement and unashamed tenderness.

This portrait is part of our canine series in ceremonial dress, found in our Dog Posters collection. It brings a chic, smiling touch to an entryway, a living room or a dressing room, and will win over dog lovers who enjoy seeing their companion promoted to guest of honour. Placed near a mirror or a dark piece of furniture, it makes an immediate impression. The warm, velvety chocolate coat plays beautifully against the deep black of the suit, giving the portrait the air of a proper black-tie evening. A hint of self-mockery lingers in the dog's expression, just enough to soften the formality.
