These extraordinary ‘paintings’ were created using coloured grains of sand rather than paints. Each is after an original painting by Philip James de Loutherbourg. The first scene shows the Battle of Hastings with a central mounted figure, presumably William the Conqueror, with a red plume in his helmet, raising his sword against a fighter on foot.

Oil on canvas within a gilded frame and accompanied by five related letters. English, circa 1810.

This led to a Court Martial appearance for one Joseph Fountain, the Master at Arms...
