Emma Sergeant is a British painter.

Early life and education

Sergeant was born in London to Sir Patrick Sergeant, a financial journalist. She received her education from Camberwell and the Slade School of Fine Art. During her studies, she won the National Portrait Gallery's Portrait Prize, becoming its youngest recipient at the time.

Career

Sergeant began her career with the debut exhibition at Agnew's in 1984, which sold out. Later, she traveled to the North-West Frontier to depict Afghan warriors and refugees during the conflict with Russia. Over the years, she held additional eight exhibitions at Agnew's and the Fine Art Society, and a retrospective in Siena. She also had a solo show called "Faces from Four Continents" at Agnew's in London.

From 1995 to 1996, Sergeant served as the official artist to the Prince of Wales on tours of Egypt, Morocco, and Central Asia and has been his guest at Highgrove and Sandringham. Her portraits include Sir Laurence Olivier, Sir David Cecil, and the Duke of York. Several of her paintings are displayed at Highgrove House, the residence of Prince Charles. Her last commissioned portrait was of the editor of the Daily Mail, Paul Dacre.

After seeing polo in Pakistan, Sergeant began playing the game in England and her later work is in equestrian art. She also briefly taught art to prison inmates through the Koestler Award Scheme.

Her exhibitions include "Faces from Four Continents" at Agnew's, "Touch the Spirit" in Siena (later shown in London), and "From The Sea" at the Fine Art Society. Some of her artwork has also appeared in the film The Lost Son.

Personal life

Sergeant has been married twice, first to Italian banker Riccardo Pavoncelli and later to historian Count Adam Zamoyski in 2001. She shares her time between London and Poland, where she and Zamoyski engage in painting, writing, farming, and horse breeding. She owns two dogs: a bull terrier named Carmen, and a mongrel rescue dog named Doris.

Before her marriage with Pavoncelli, she had a four-year relationship with Imran Khan and a brief relationship with the Earl of Caledon.
