Description
We Have All We Need – Sam Toft
Ernest and Violet lean into a loving embrace, with little Doris tucked beside their feet. Violet’s rich red coat and Ernest’s warm orange stand out against a soft sea-green background, beneath the words ‘We Have All We Need’. A small picture with a heartfelt message about the comfort of simply being together.
From Sam’s Meet the Mustards collection of miniature art prints, each of these framed pieces has an extra personal touch: an original pencil remarque drawn and signed by Sam on its antique white mount.
Gallery Remarque
Sam created these remarques during her visit to The Braithwaite Gallery for our Meet the Artist event on 20 September 2026. Her hand-drawn sketch of Mr Mustard and Doris sits at the lower right of each mount, alongside her handwritten signature. The drawing is on the mount rather than the printed image. Each remarque varies ever so slightly, giving every piece its own character.
Presentation
Framed as shown in Nordic blue, a softly distressed blue finish that complements the gentle colours of the artwork. Presented behind glass in an antique white mount, ready to hang. Each piece features an original pencil remarque of Mr Mustard and Doris, individually drawn and hand-signed by Sam. The photographs show an example; each remarque varies slightly.
Measurements
- Mount aperture: approximately 15 × 15cm
- Mounted size: 30 × 30cm, before framing

About Sam Toft
Sam’s much-loved Mustards inhabit a seaside world of faded ice-cream colours, gentle humour and everyday affection. Ernest Hemingway Mustard, his wife Violet and their grumpy, rather portly Jack Russell, Doris, share their Brighton/Hove home and adventures with an eccentric circle of friends, including Audrey the sheep, Horace Duck and Rover the goldfish. Ernest’s work as a part-time Hurricane Predictor and Professional Tuneless Hummer fits perfectly into this wonderfully whimsical world.
Working with mixed media, pencil, oil pastels and coloured inks, Sam captures those small moments that make life feel delicious. The Braithwaite Gallery has worked with Sam for many years, welcoming her to York for exhibitions and visits. Her generosity has also supported the gallery’s charity fundraising, including her 2020 artwork Looking After Eachother (a picture for Jake), created in memory of Jake Braithwaite to raise funds for Mind.
