Horse Portraits and Pony Portraits

Horse portrait artist Ann Seward is internationally renowned for creating the most amazingly life like horse portraits and pony portraits. Each horse portrait and pony portrait is an authentic, accurate and totally lifelike evocation of the equine subject, which projects the very attitude and aptitude of the animal into each portrait. Many owners are moved to tears when they receive the immortalisation of their favourite hunter, racehorse, pony or hack.

Meeting each subject personally Ann is able to recognise their individual personalities, characters and idiosyncrasies. She takes a set of colour photographs, makes notes on bone structure, colour, markings, blemishes, etc., and then gifted with a photographic memory she recalls each subject when creating the beautifully detailed works of art in her studio.

To further personalise each horse portrait Ann can add pencil remarques to the horse portrait or pony portrait. These can either depict the equine in various disciplines, positions and situations, it's aptitude or to illustrate the relationship with it's owner.

This innate ability of perception and of portraying each equine as an individual has ensured her reputation as one of the foremost animal portraitists in the United Kingdom.

Ann provides the complete horse portrait service from photo-shoot to framing and delivery. Every portrait is supplied ready to hang.

Below are examples of some of her horse and pony portrait commissions created over the last 31 years.
