Breed

Greyhound portraits

The head is narrow and the eye is quiet. The aristocrat manner was studied with this breed in mind.
Studio example. A greyhound painted as an aristocrat, in oil.
Studio example

Greyhounds can look severe, which suits a formal portrait. The studio does not add a smile. A calm photograph is more faithful than one taken in play.

Silk and linen in the aristocrat manner stay dark, so a light-coated dog remains the lightest thing in the picture. Cream is the alternative ground when the coat is itself dark.
