Broad frame poured into a made-to-measure tuxedo, this rottweiler commands respect before you even clock the bow tie. The deep black of the suit blends into his two-tone coat, while the crisp white shirt front signs off an elegance made for the occasion. The portrait borrows the solemnity of the classical masters, yet the colossus's frank, good-humoured gaze instantly defuses the pose: behind the look of a gala bouncer beats a thoroughly tender heart. Dapper and comical in equal measure.

This illustration is part of our gallery of dogs in evening wear, found in our Dog Posters collection. It lends character to a masculine living room, a study or an understated hallway, and lands well with rottweiler owners and wall-art fans who enjoy a good joke. It holds its own on a large bare wall or within a cluster of frames, without ever tipping into the flashy, and catches the eye from the doorway.

The clever gift for a rottweiler owner who can laugh at the gap between the dog's build and its big-softie nature.
