Lot 277: A Mid-20th Century Print, 'Horseguards in the Mall'

A large horizontal print on textured board, depicting a scene of the Household Cavalry. The composition features four mounted soldiers in ceremonial uniform, including helmets with plumes and breastplates, set against a stylised backdrop of the Victoria Memorial and the gates of Buckingham Palace. The artwork is rendered in a mid-20th century modernist style, characterised by a muted palette of ochre, blue, and brown, with vibrant red accents for the plumes. The image is overlaid with a series of horizontal and vertical linear segments, creating a fragmented effect. The piece is housed in a wide, tiered wooden frame with an off-white and gold-toned finish. A white adhesive label is adhered to the upper frame edge reading DRAGON KING. No artist’s marks or signatures are visible on the face of the work.
