Little Red is a stunning limited edition artwork by the acclaimed British wildlife artist Sarah Eden, whose emotionally resonant and technically masterful portraits of animals have captivated collectors across the UK and internationally. Known for her ability to combine meticulous realism with a profound sensitivity to her subjects, Eden transforms her paintings into intimate encounters with wildlife, conveying both presence and personality in every work.
This piece features a squirrel in a contemplative stance, appearing almost caught in a moment of decision as it surveys its surroundings. The background is dark, yet the creature seems illuminated from behind, as though drawn to a subtle glow, emphasizing the delicate contours of its form and the alert intelligence in its posture. Eden's mastery is evident in every strand of fur, each rendered with painstaking detail to create a lifelike, tactile quality. The squirrel's expressive stance and the luminous quality of the lighting draw the viewer into a quiet narrative, hinting at curiosity, focus, and instinct.
Produced as a limited edition canvas board, the image is printed on canvas and then varnished to retain the richness and texture of Eden's original work. This approach preserves the intricate brushwork, tonal depth, and subtle interplay of light and shadow, giving the print an authentic, gallery-quality finish. The piece is framed in a black wooden moulded frame with gold edging and an off-white inner slip, which complements the warm highlights of the squirrel while enhancing the dramatic contrast of the composition.
Measuring 30 x 30 cm (image size) and 50 x 50 cm framed, Little Red is ideally suited for display in both private collections and gallery spaces, offering a focal point that exudes intimacy and quiet power. The limited edition of 95 copies ensures that each print is a highly collectible work, hand-signed and numbered by the artist to confirm its authenticity.
Sarah Eden's work is distinguished by its emotional depth, technical precision, and evocative storytelling. Through her portraits, she invites viewers to pause and connect with the natural world, experiencing not just the animal's physical presence but its intelligence, curiosity, and character. In Little Red, the squirrel becomes more than a subject; it is a living, thinking presence, rendered with the care, attention, and artistry that have earned Eden a devoted following.
For collectors, this piece exemplifies Eden's unique ability to balance lifelike realism with emotional resonance. Every detail, from the delicate fur to the subtly glowing background, demonstrates her skill at capturing the essence of the animal, creating a moment of connection that feels immediate and personal. Little Red is both a celebration of wildlife and a meditation on observation, light, and the quiet drama of everyday nature.
