Original 1884 Victorian Era 10th Hussars Painting by Richard Simkin. An expertly painted original watercolor, 14" X 21", by prominent British artist Richard Simkin, 1840-1926, well known for his military subjects. In this work, titled "The 10th, The Prince of Wales's Own Royal Hussars", Simkin portrays in meticulous detail five mounted, and one standing, officers of the regiment in uniforms worn during various periods of its existence from 1742 to 1884, the date the painting was completed. At the top a hand painted coat-of-arms of the unit. Signed and dated 1884 by Simkin below the center image. Handsomely framed to an overall size of 24.5" X 30" and ready for display, though a replacement of the aged matting would enhance the appeal of this lovely painting.
Estimated Value $2,400 - 2,800.
