Angus McBride Original Gouache on Board, English Civil War Soldiers, Signed
This dynamic original gouache painting by Angus McBride captures a vividly theatrical moment from the English Civil War, featuring three vividly characterized soldiers, each brimming with personality. A weary musketeer slouches on a stool, dozing under the shadowy vaults of a stone stable while his comrades, alert and animated, stand over him mid-conversation, their attire brimming with historically accurate detail and McBride's signature drama. Horses loom in the darkened background, enhancing the sense of narrative depth. Created circa 1990 for Osprey Publishing, this piece exemplifies McBride's unparalleled mastery of historical illustration, with bold color, sharp draftsmanship, and richly expressive figures. McBride, celebrated for his iconic military and fantasy artwork, brought to life countless Osprey Men-at-Arms and historical series. His work is held in deep regard among collectors of military art and illustration. Signed lower right.
