A woman sits side-saddle on a grey horse at the crest of a stony hill, a long spear held upright at her side. She wears a dark riding habit and a wide-brimmed hat and looks straight ahead, over the plain below. The sky behind her is all moving cloud, and the wind lifts the horse's mane and the ends of its tail.

Lavery painted it in 1911. It belongs to National Museums NI and is in the collection of the Ulster Museum in Belfast — the city where he was born.

About this work

The Amazon was painted in 1911 by the Belfast-born artist Sir John Lavery (1856–1941), who gave it a spear and a wide, cloud-filled sky. It is a full-size equestrian portrait of his daughter Eileen, and the most important of the riding pictures he made after winters at Tangier, where he and Eileen rode on the beach and he belonged to the Tangier Hunt. It was his principal work at the Royal Academy in 1911. The original is oil on canvas and belongs to National Museums NI, in the collection of the Ulster Museum in Belfast. This print is an open edition, made to order and shipped worldwide.

Questions about this print

Where is the original The Amazon by Sir John Lavery?
It belongs to National Museums NI and is in the collection of the Ulster Museum in Belfast, the city where Lavery was born. It is an oil on canvas painted in 1911.

Who is the woman on the horse?
Lavery's daughter Eileen. The painting is a full-size equestrian portrait of her, and Lavery shows her in a dark riding habit and wide-brimmed hat with a long spear at her side. It was his principal work at the Royal Academy in 1911.

Why is it called The Amazon?
The title and the spear recast Eileen as a warrior woman of myth rather than a society sitter. Lavery spent winters in Tangier, where he and Eileen rode on the beach and he belonged to the Tangier Hunt, and the riding portraits he painted there led to this, the most important of them.
