Buttoned into full dress uniform, gold epaulettes gleaming and gaze fixed straight ahead, this bull poses with the gravity of a senior officer. The illustration borrows the language of old official portraits — tight framing, medals across the chest, a martial bearing — and tips it into gleeful parody. The result blends mock nobility with unashamed humour. Every fold of fabric and every medal is rendered with a care that sharpens the comedy of the pose.

This characterful portrait is part of our series of animals dressed to impress, waiting in the Animal Portraits collection. It holds its own in a classically styled living room, a study, a library or a hallway that could use a witty touch. A piece for anyone who likes an elegant interior without ever taking it too seriously, and who enjoys a nod to the great masters.
