pet portrait

Furry companion painting

A pet portrait is a painting, photograph, or other artistic depiction of someone's pet.

The term usually implies a commissioned or formal work rather than a casual snapshot: She hired an artist to do a pet portrait of her golden retriever.

Pet portraits range from realistic oil paintings to stylized digital illustrations, often displayed in homes as tributes to beloved animals.
