What's in the picture

A crown, an ermine-trimmed robe and a velvet throne in a palace hall, painted in the manner of an old court portrait. The king or queen of the house, finally given the portrait they always assumed they deserved.

In watercolour the setting is kept pale and lets the cream paper show through, so their face carries the picture. Edges bleed softly; nothing is outlined hard.

Who it suits

The pet who already runs the household. It's one of our most given gifts: funny enough for a birthday, grand enough to hang in a hall. Dogs with a noble profile and cats with an air of disdain carry it best.

Questions

Can I have a king or a queen?

The crown and robe are the same either way, and the name lettered on is yours to choose, so King Alfie or Queen Mabel both work.

Is this the same as a Renaissance portrait?

Not quite. Royal is the scene: the crown, robe and throne. Renaissance is a style: Leonardo's soft, smoky oils. You can have the royal scene in the Renaissance style, or in oil, watercolour and the rest.

Is it painted by hand?

No. It isn't painted by hand. It's painted-style: an AI image model makes it from your photo, so you see it in about a minute rather than waiting weeks for an artist. It's made to look like a watercolour, and it's printed, not painted, on whatever you order.

What does it cost to try?

Nothing. Add a photo and you see the finished picture in about a minute, with no account and no card. Seeing it is free, and we'll email you the full-size file free too. You only pay if you choose a print, mug, card or other product.
