A framed portrait, ready to hang.

For a lot of people, a framed portrait is what they mean when they say "a portrait on the wall." The canvas stretcher is the artist's object; the frame is the finished, gallery-ready object. We're offering both, the choice is yours.

Three sizes

All three framed sizes are vertical, matte canvas, mounted in a 14mm-wide solid wood frame. Hanging hardware comes pre-fitted on the back.

• 30 × 40cm, from £109. The same proportions as our standard canvas, now framed. Right for a hallway, a bedroom wall, above a desk.
• 40 × 50cm, from £149. A gallery scale. Fills a living-room wall without dominating the room.
• 50 × 70cm, from £189. The largest framed size we print. A centrepiece, the object guests ask about.

Three frame colours

Every frame is solid wood; the three colours use different finishes on the same profile. No price difference between them, pick what your room wants.

• Black. The cleanest choice. Works with a pale wall and a coloured portrait; reads as editorial rather than traditional.
• Dark wood. A deep walnut-adjacent stain. Warmer than black, still formal.
• Natural wood. Oak-adjacent, pale and quiet. For rooms with a lot of wood already, or where you don't want the frame to compete.

The same painting, presented as a gallery piece

Framed and unframed versions use the same artwork, the painted-style portrait rendered from your photo, in the house style we already apply to every canvas. The frame doesn't change the art; it changes the object the art arrives as.

Delivery and what's in the box

5–9 working days to UK addresses, printed and assembled at a single facility. Arrives wrapped, with hanging hardware fitted. International shipping is calculated live at checkout, typically £12–£25 depending on destination and items, shown before you pay. Each item prints locally wherever possible, so customs isn't involved.

A custom pet portrait you can hang straight away

A framed pet portrait is the version of a custom pet portrait that arrives ready for the wall, no separate framing trip, no choosing a mount that doesn't quite suit, no stretching or stapling. It is the same painting we make for every customer, in the same warm 19th-century oil-painting style, but presented as a finished object rather than a printed canvas you then have to figure out. Framed pet portraits in the UK usually fall into one of two camps: cheap mass-printed prints in plastic-effect frames, or studio-painted commissions from £400 upwards. We sit between those, the painting is rendered from your photograph in our house style, the frame is solid wood, the price is honest about what each part of it costs.

For dogs and cats

Every framed pet portrait we make is of a dog or a cat. The intake is the same for both: upload a few clear photographs, tell us a few things about them, and we render the painting from your clearest photo in the house style. Larger dogs and cats land especially well in the 40×50cm size, where the head fits with more presence. For another species, get in touch, we don't paint horses, birds, or small pets yet, but we'd like to hear from you.

A framed pet portrait as a gift, birthday, Christmas, and the others

A framed canvas as a gift sits oddly between two registers. It's too considered to be casual, a framed portrait isn't a stocking-filler, and too quiet to be theatrical. The right occasions are usually the considered ones: a milestone birthday for someone whose dog has been with them for a decade, a Christmas gift for a parent whose cat has been in every family photograph since the children were small, an anniversary of a pet's arrival rather than their loss.

Christmas gifts in particular benefit from ordering early. Framed canvases take 5–9 working days to print and ship in the UK; if you'd like a framed pet portrait under the tree, place the order by the second week of December at the latest. If the framed pet portrait is for someone who doesn't yet know it's coming, you can ship to a third address and we'll wrap and box it without any branding visible from the outside.

Multi-pet portraits, and watercolour vs painted-style

We can paint two or more pets together in a single framed canvas, provided you have a usable photograph of them in the same frame, same lighting, same orientation, both faces clearly visible. Composite portraits (two pets photographed separately, painted as if together) are not something we currently offer; the seam tends to read, and we'd rather not make a piece you'd find unconvincing later.

Our house style is painted-style oil, warm earth tones, visible brushwork, 19th-century portrait conventions in composition. We don't currently offer a watercolour pet portrait, though we're occasionally asked. If watercolour is what you want, we'd point you to a UK painter rather than try to fake it.
