Royal: a baroque court portrait of your pet
Velvet mantle, gold braid, a sash and deep crimson drapery — the regal pet portrait, painted in the manner of a baroque court painter, from $49.
Where it comes from. The baroque court portrait — Van Dyck's kings, Rigaud's Louis XIV — with the robes, the sash and the crimson drapery, now worn by your dog or cat.
Best for. Dogs and cats with a bit of attitude. Faces are kept exactly; only the clothes and the setting are invented.
Where it hangs. Above a fireplace, in a hallway, or anywhere it can be the joke and the centrepiece at once.
The brushwork. Rich, glossy strokes on the braid and the fabric; the fur is painted softly against them.
