Clare Haggas ‘Making Amends’ stolen at Cheltenham Festival

I’m writing today with an urgent request regarding a stolen artwork.

An original painting titled 'Making Amends' was stolen at Cheltenham Festival on Friday 13th March.

The piece is highly distinctive and immediately recognisable. It features two hares positioned nose-to-nose in a quiet, intimate moment, captured in a large-format, professionally framed artwork.

This is a deeply personal piece for me, taking months of detailed work to complete. The hares’ fur is rendered with exceptional realism using a unique combination of pencil and acrylic techniques, making the artwork extremely difficult to replicate.

We are asking for your help in raising awareness and sharing this appeal, in the hope that the painting can be located and returned safely.

Key details:

  • Artist: Clare Haggas

  • Work title: Making Amends

  • Item stolen: Original framed painting

  • Location: Cheltenham Festival

  • Date: Friday 13th March

  • Identifiable features: Large-format artwork of two hares nose-to-nose, highly detailed fur, framed

  • Police Crime Reference Number: 53260014221 Gloucestershire Constabulary
