Fine Art Print

Dimensions: Paper 39.25" x 19.75" / Image 34.25" x 13.75"

In this utterly charming scene, Ernest Mustard—dressed in his striped nightgown and colourful cap—carefully carries a breakfast tray to his beloved Jack Russell terrier Doris, who is tucked snugly in bed beneath a colorful, patchwork quilt. Trotting eagerly along behind Ernest is their cat Stripes, no doubt hoping to sneak a bite of breakfast. Sweet, funny, and full of warmth, Breakfast in Bed for Doris captures the gentle absurdity of life with pets, where the dog is treated like royalty and clearly runs the household.

Rendered in Sam Toft's signature muted, earthy palette and whimsical rounded style, this print is a celebration of the quiet, cozy rituals shared between people and their beloved animals.

A wide horizontal print. On the left, Ernest Mustard stands in a long striped nightgown and a small nightcap, carefully holding a breakfast tray with both hands. He is rendered in Toft's familiar rounded, pear-shaped style. Behind him, a striped cat— Stripes—trots along eagerly, tail up, following close behind. On the right side of the image, a small Jack Russell terrier—Doris—lies tucked into a bed, her head resting on a pillow, covered by a colorful patchwork quilt in warm, varied tones. The scene is set in a cozy interior with a warm, muted background. The mood is tender, humorous, colorful, cozy, and deeply cozy—a dog being waited on hand and foot, as it should be.

A perfect gift for dog lovers, cat lovers, and anyone who knows that pets are the true rulers of the home.
