R.B. Cunninghame Graham on ‘Pampa’, By Irish Artist Sir John Lavery Art Print

R.B. Cunninghame Graham on ‘Pampa’, c. 1898
By Sir John Lavery

Step into the wild romance of history with this evocative reproduction print, capturing the indomitable spirit of R.B. Cunninghame Graham—writer, revolutionary, and fearless adventurer—astride his beloved horse, Pampa.

Painted by renowned Irish artist Sir John Lavery, this piece is more than a portrait; it’s a glimpse into the legend of "Don Roberto", the aristocratic rebel who swapped the halls of Parliament for the sweeping Pampas of Argentina. With his theatrical cloak, steadfast grey Stetson, and a gaze that dares you to follow him into the unknown, Cunninghame Graham is immortalised here not just as a man, but as a myth.

By his side stands Pampa, a rescue horse plucked from a Glasgow tramline—its dignity and spirit restored under Graham’s care. In this sketch-like composition, Lavery gives the animal equal footing with its rider, capturing their bond with warmth and quiet power.

This print is based on Lavery’s original 1898 painting, a preparatory piece for the grand salon portrait now held in Buenos Aires. It reflects a more intimate side of both subject and artist, and tells a story of friendship, freedom, and rebellion that spanned continents and decades.

Whether you're drawn to Irish art, historical romance, or simply appreciate a striking portrait with a story to tell, R.B. Cunninghame Graham on ‘Pampa’ makes a bold and beautiful statement in any space.
