Lot description

An electrifying and richly detailed original painting by Angus McBride, the legendary historical illustrator known for his vivid and dynamic battle scenes. This work depicts a dramatic charge of seventeenth-century English soldiers, rendered with McBride's signature precision and energy. From the expressive faces to the intricate costume details, lace collars, buff boots, sashes, and weapons, the composition pulses with movement and character. The piece exemplifies McBride's mastery of historical narrative, likely painted in gouache on illustration board, and was originally created for publication by Osprey Publishing. Signed in full lower right and accompanied by the original publisher's return label verso. A rare opportunity to own an original from one of the most celebrated military illustrators of the twentieth century.
