When the study feels over-arranged, this kind of portrait helps. A German Shepherd stands quietly in a soft green cap, a golf iron held in his mouth, and the whole thing settles a room that has been trying too hard. Hang it above a leather chair, a small sideboard or at the end of a hallway where you catch it on the way past. It sits well with tan leather, oak, tartan check, brass lamps and warm cream walls. Skip it if you want art that stays purely modern or completely serious — this one has a wink in it. Framing in warm brown wood makes the vintage feel land properly on paper.
