The Draft King — Budweiser Clydesdale Fine Art Portrait
From $450 Click photo for printing options and to purchase
He is one of the most recognized horses in the world — and standing in the deep snow against the dark wall of the evergreen forest, he looks every inch the part. The Draft King is a portrait of a Budweiser Clydesdale in his full winter presence — the bold blaze running the length of the broad face, the striking blue eye catching the cold winter light with an intensity that stops the viewer completely, the massive, powerful body standing with the four-square composure of an animal entirely comfortable with being looked at, the white feathered legs barely visible at the snow line. The Budweiser Clydesdales are the most celebrated draft horses in American culture — introduced in 1933 as a gift to mark the end of Prohibition, they have been a fixture of American life for nearly a century, appearing in some of the most beloved advertising in the history of the medium and carrying with them a weight of cultural association that no other horse breed in America quite replicates. And yet here, removed from the pageantry and the hitch and the crowds, this horse is simply himself — a magnificent bay Clydesdale standing in the winter snow with the quiet authority of an animal that has nothing to prove to anyone. The dark evergreen forest behind him provides a backdrop of extraordinary richness and depth, the deep green and shadow throwing the warm bay coat and the bold facial markings into the sharpest possible relief, the blue eye at the center of the composition the single most compelling detail in a frame full of compelling details. On ChromaLuxe Metal or Lumachrome HD TruLife Acrylic, the commanding presence and the cultural resonance of The Draft King make it the most recognizable and broadly appealing piece in the Clydesdale series — a natural companion to Full Force and Snow Cloud for collectors drawn to America's most beloved draft breed at its most magnificent.
