An immaculately groomed mane spilling over a ceremonial collar, a chest full of decorations, and the quiet certainty of an animal who has never once been contradicted: this lion in military uniform is every inch the general. Painted in the tradition of nineteenth-century official portraiture, the scene carries a mock gravity that is thoroughly enjoyable, the gilded braid echoing the tawny glow of his mane. You half expect him to return your salute as you pass.

A flagship figure in our gallery of animals in full regalia, he lends a living room, office or library that touch of eccentric elegance that sets an interior apart. The illustration sits as comfortably against period mouldings as against raw concrete, watching over the room without ever raising his voice. Pick a generous size and let him preside. His equally decorated peers are on parade in our Animal Portraits collection.
