Russian WWII Watercolour

An exceptionally well-executed war artist watercolour, measuring 53 x 34 cm, presented in a simple black and gilded frame. The scene depicts a Russian anti-tank gun crew in action, with finely detailed uniform work. This painting would make an excellent backdrop for a Russian diorama or display. Originally purchased in Russia in the early post-1989 years, the work was signed on the reverse, though the signature is not visible due to reframing in the UK. The artist, Blaschchuk, is hand-noted in ink on the exterior of the rear backing, and the painting is entitled “During Battle.”
