Bring all bone and brindle to a wall with this whippet portrait, painted in oil against a plain putty ground.
The whippet was bred in the mill towns of northern England as a coursing and racing dog on a working man's budget — the poor man's greyhound, though nobody who owns one calls it that. The head is the giveaway: long and narrow with almost no stop, the skull flat between small rose ears that fold back against the neck at rest and only half-lift when something catches its attention. The skin is famously fine, so the brindle coat sits straight over muscle and bone with nothing to soften the line of the neck. Turned three-quarters with the gaze level and generous plain ground around it. Well suited to living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and studies, and to modern, minimalist or Scandinavian interiors.
Printed on premium 200 gsm semi-gloss paper, which holds the brindle striping without letting the darker bands block up, and keeps the fine edge where the coat meets the ground.
