Smiling Harbour Seal Canvas Wall Art Print
Smiling Harbour Seal Canvas Wall Art Prints.
Crafted with precision and care, this artwork is printed onto finely textured 400gsm cotton canvas, using state-of-the-art professional printing methods to ensure the highest possible quality and resolution.
The canvas is hand-stretched over a 38mm deep made-to-measure knotless pine stretcher bar frame guaranteed not to warp or bow, milled with a curved profile to minimise contact with the face of the canvas and prevent unsightly impression marks and surface cracking.
By default, your Smiling Harbour Seal canvas art will be supplied with an image wrap edge, seamlessly extending the artwork around the sides. Customize your order with different edge options to suit your preference.
Harbour seals, also known as common seals, are the smaller of the UK’s two seal species, though their name can be misleading - they’re not as common as you might think. In fact, current estimates give their numbers at 55,000 - a third of the number of grey seals around Britain’s shores.
These charming creatures spend much of their time lounging on beaches, rocks, and sandbanks, but they’re also strong swimmers, often seen gliding through coastal waters. Each harbour seal has a unique pattern of spots on its coat, making it possible to tell individuals apart.
In British folklore, they were believed to be selkies - mythical creatures that could transform into humans. Today, their curious and playful nature makes them a much-loved symbol of coastal wildlife.
This solitary harbour seal lies amongst seaweed and rocks, looking right at the camera with what seems like a contented smile on its face. Its sleek, spotted coat and relaxed posture make it hard not to be charmed by this adorable creature. Whether it’s just finished a swim or simply soaking up the peaceful surroundings, this harbour seal perfectly embodies the calm beauty of UK wildlife.
Enhance your space with this cheerful seal in a wall art print, or enjoy its smiling face every day on a mug or greeting card!
