Strapped into a ceremonial military uniform, a sable Labrador poses with the gravity of a high-ranking officer. Gleaming medals, golden epaulettes and a solemn stance: the illustration draws on the official portraits of the old masters to grant the dog a nobility full of humour. The result is as stylish as it is amusing, halfway between a château gallery and a knowing wink to animal lovers. The dark backdrop and the neat drapery heighten the solemnity of this mock state portrait, down to the smallest golden button.

This portrait joins our series of dogs rendered in the style of antique paintings, found in the Dog Posters collection. In a living room, a study or a hallway, it adds a fine touch of character and offbeat elegance. It appeals to owners who hold a very particular admiration for their faithful Labrador. It lends a touch of prestige and whimsy to a bookshelf or a slightly austere corridor.
