The Honourable Labrador Art Print

Most pet portrait prints behave. This one picks a side. A yellow Labrador sits in a leather wingback chair in full Georgian court dress powdered wig, black robe, gold trim, lace jabot painted in the manner of an 18th-century oil. Hang it in a study, library or panelled hallway and the room stops being shy about its sense of humour. It does its best work above a leather armchair, a writing desk or a dark wood sideboard, with brass lamps and stacked books nearby. Walls in deep green, oxblood or warm cream all suit it. Avoid pairing it with bright graphic prints or sleek minimalism the joke needs traditional company to land. Printed on premium fine-art paper, framed or unframed.
