Losing a furry family member is never easy. We weren’t ready to say goodbye to our sweet yet very sassy Coco and wanted a painting in her memory. I reached out to Corneille, as well as a few other artists, but Corneille won me over and she did the most amazing portrait of Coco!! I can’t describe how when you look at the painting, you know it is her. She did such an amazing job, such great detail and care, as if Coco was her own. I would, and hope, to use her again - Donella
- Donella CCorneille did an excellent job creating a portrait of my beloved dog and soulmate, Ms. Harley. She was able to capture Ms. Harley’s loyalty, devotion, and wonderful spirit as well as creating her beauty. I would recommend Corneille’ work to everyone. She did such a lovely job with my sweet Ms. Harley, that I am going to employ her to do portraits of my two adult daughters’ dogs.
- Ann NAmazing--- both working with Corneille and the portrait she created! I reached out to Corneille to paint a dog painting for a friend. I had purchased a bee portrait by Corneille at an art show in the past, and family members have worked with her and speak so highly of Corneille and her art. The remote process was so simple; I sent her several photos and Corneille really wanted to get to know her "subject!" She shared that the eyes were the most important part so we worked together to select which photos best showed his personality. I was amazed how she was able to quickly capture him as much as the photo. She asked for critical feedback to assure she captured him. We decided that the eyes needed to be a little darker--- as soon as that simple change happened, he just came to life. Corneille was a joy to work with and the best testament to her work was the look of sheer surprise and amazement my friend had when she opened her gift. Priceless! Warm Regards, Jill Y.
- T WI just picked up the most beautiful pet portrait that Corneille painted for me. I got emotional because she captured so perfectly this beautiful dog’s face. Corneille kept me up to date by sending me pictures as she painted & was a delight to work with. She is so talented. This portrait will be treasured always.
- Leslie PCorneille has painted 3 pet portraits for us and we love, love, love them! She exquisitely captures every detail to include their beautiful eyes. We are so lucky that our pet family will always be with us, thanks to Corneille and Pet portraits by Corneille! Highly recommend!

- Adelaide S🌟 About Corneille Little
Corneille is a professional pet portrait artist based in Raleigh, NC, serving clients locally and nationwide through PetWorks. With a passion for capturing the personality, energy, and spirit of animal companions, Corneille creates handcrafted portraits that go far beyond what a photograph can offer — each one a genuine one-of-a-kind work of art, made from your favorite photo and tailored to your exact vision. Corneille is a recognized and top-rated artist on PetWorks, trusted by pet owners across the country to deliver portraits that are cherished for a lifetime.
What to Expect When Working with Corneille
Commissioning a portrait with Corneille is a personal, collaborative experience from start to finish. It begins with a conversation — you'll share your favorite photos of your pet, discuss the style and medium that appeals to you, and talk through any specific ideas or requests you have in mind. Corneille takes the time to understand not just what your pet looks like, but who they are — their character, their quirks, and the qualities that make them yours.
From there, Corneille gets to work. Most artists on PetWorks share progress photos along the way, giving you the opportunity to provide feedback and request adjustments before the portrait is complete. Once you're happy with the result, your finished portrait is shipped directly to you or delivered as a digital file — depending on the medium and your preference. Most portraits are completed within 2–6 weeks, though timelines vary by medium, complexity, and the artist's current schedule. Always confirm turnaround with Corneille before booking, especially if you're working toward a gift deadline.
🦔 How to Book Corneille on PetWorks
On Corneille Little's listing page, use 'Send Message' or 'Get Custom Quote' or 'Book Now' to start a conversation about your commission. Corneille will discuss your vision, answer any questions, and send you a personalized quote through the PetWorks inbox — because the right artist fit matters, and taking a few minutes to correspond before committing is always worth it.
When you're ready, payment is handled securely through PetWorks — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Affirm, Link, or Klarna. Care Coverage at checkout gives you access to PetWorks' live Concierge team, full refunds if a booking is canceled through no fault of yours, and help resolving any issues along the way — so you can focus on your portrait with complete peace of mind.
Tips for a Great Portrait
Getting the most out of your commission starts with good reference photos. Clear, well-lit shots taken at your pet's eye level work best — natural light is your friend, and flash-heavy photos tend to flatten features and wash out color. Capture a few different expressions and angles if you can: a close-up of the face, a relaxed resting shot, and a playful or characteristic pose gives your artist the most to work with.
Beyond photos, the more you can share about your pet's personality the better. Is your dog goofy and energetic, or calm and dignified? Does your cat have a signature expression? The small details you share help Corneille bring genuine character to the portrait rather than simply reproducing a likeness. If you have a specific style, background, or size in mind, mention it upfront — most artists welcome creative direction and will work with you to bring your vision to life.
As a general guide, pet portrait commissions in the US typically range from $75–$200 for small portraits, $200–$500 for medium, and $500–$1,200 or more for large or multi-pet works. Browse Corneille's pricing packages above for specific rates.

How do I get started with Corneille? Use 'Send Message' or 'Get Custom Quote' or 'Book Now' buttons on this page to reach out directly. Corneille will respond through the PetWorks inbox to discuss your vision, review your photos, and provide a personalized quote before you commit to booking.
Can Corneille paint multiple pets in one portrait? Many PetWorks artists offer multi-pet compositions — reach out to Corneille directly to discuss your specific request. Multi-pet portraits may carry additional fees depending on the number of subjects and complexity of the arrangement.
What if my pet has passed away? Memorial portraits are one of the most meaningful commissions you can make.

What if I'm not happy with the result? PetWorks' Care Coverage gives you access to the live Concierge team and help resolving any booking issues.
