A Commission for Christmas

A Commission for Christmas

Equestrian artist Martin Williams is renowned for his exquisite watercolours depicting the vibrant silks of racehorse owners and the elegance of thoroughbreds in motion. However, his skill extends equally to oils, where he masterfully captures the power, detail, and personality of his equine subjects.

This striking oil painting features Running Lion, a powerful iron-grey filly and daughter of the multiple Group 1-winning Roaring Lion. Commissioned as a heartfelt birthday gift by the owner’s sister, the piece commemorates both the horse’s pedigree and a cherished family milestone.

Delivered on schedule by Equestrian Art International, the painting exemplifies Williams’ ability to translate both athleticism and emotion onto canvas. For more information on commissions by Martin Williams, please contact EAI at info@equestrianartuk.com.
