Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Few dogs were bred so single-mindedly for companionship. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel spent centuries at the feet of English royalty and never quite lost the habit - they are happiest within arm's reach, silky ears spilling over your knee. Gentle with children, easy with other animals, and possessed of the softest, most disarming eyes in the dog world.

Each portrait is an original watercolour: confident, visible brushstrokes on cold-press paper, in the tradition of natural-history illustration rather than smoothed-over digital art. Real paper grain, real pigment variation, the occasional soft bloom where wet colour met wet colour.

The whole character of a Cavalier sits in the eyes and the feathered ears, and that is where this portrait spends its detail.

Available coat colourways: Black, Brown, Golden and Cream - match the portrait to your own dog, or simply choose the one you love most.
