Renaissance pet portraits

Velvet, lace and a rightful title

Some pets are simply nobility awaiting confirmation. This is the portrait that confirms it.

Renaissance pet portraits: example portrait — Framed in black, white or oak.

The court portrait

A dark velvet coat, gold braid, a lace collar, a red cushion and candlelight from the left, in the manner of Van Dyck. The costume stays quiet so the face can speak: their own markings, their own eyes, their own particular air of entitlement.

Choose their rank

Royal Renaissance for the monarch of the sofa. Regency Portrait for the composed country gentleman. Military General for the commander who patrols the hallway. Each is a different character, painted with the same seriousness.

Funny for a moment, beloved for years

It always gets a laugh when it is unwrapped. Then it goes on the wall, and stays there, because it looks like them.

A first portrait for a new arrival

A puppy or kitten in lace is a fine way to mark the first year. Note the adoption date and we will add it to the back of the frame.

Framed in black, white or oak.

Will the outfit hide their markings?

No. Chest blazes and white bibs are kept, and you confirm the details on your proof.
