The Squat Pen – Seamus Heaney Portrait (Gallery Edition)

Honour one of Ireland’s most celebrated poets with this refined Gallery Edition portrait of Seamus Heaney, created in pen and ink by Irish artist B. Mullan.

Titled The Squat Pen, the artwork references Heaney’s iconic lines from Digging:
“Between my finger and my thumb / The squat pen rests; snug as a gun.”

The portrait’s expressive monochrome style uses strong contrasts of light and shadow to echo the poem’s central themes—tradition versus change, the physical craft of rural life set against the quiet power of the written word.
