BRITISH 5TH DRAGOON GUARD COLONEL’S PORTRAIT

A superb watercolour portrait of Colonel Mausland, the portrait executed by the artist F. Reynolds, September 7th 1877. The watercolour portrait is beautifully mounted, the portrait itself in oval form measuring 15.5cm x 20cm, which is then set into the most fabulous gilded frame, which is then itself set again in a velvet-lined glazed box. The framing is all period and complements a superb painting of Colonel Mausland seated wearing his full dress tunic, campaign medal at his upper left breast, holding his 5th Dragoon Guard officer's helmet in his hand on his knee. The rear of the frame is also lined in velvet. It is quite obvious that the painting has never been out of the frame.
