English Whimsical Red Squirrel Portrait Framed

A charming and wonderfully eccentric English hand-painted portrait of a red squirrel, depicted in the manner of a traditional gentleman’s portrait. Set against a dramatic black background, the bright russet squirrel wears a deep green coat with gold detailing, a high cream collar, and a loosely tied cravat.

Expressive, visible brushwork gives the portrait a playful theatrical quality, particularly in the squirrel’s oversized ears, glossy eyes, and richly colored costume. The painting is housed in a simple gilt-finished frame with an appealing aged surface and scattered wear, complementing the character of the artwork.

Painted in England by a husband-and-husband artist duo who previously worked painting theatrical sets in London. The reverse bears their distinctive black wax-style studio seals, including the B&M “Squirrel” seal.

A fantastic piece of contemporary English decorative art that combines traditional portraiture with humor and theatrical flair. It would be especially fun displayed alongside other animal portraits by the artists as a collected grouping.
