German Military Folk Art Gouache Painting, circa 1866

About the Item

Military painting, circa 1866 We are proud to offer a wonderful example of a mid-19th century German gouache folk art military painting. This example pays homage to watch maker named JM Bertrand. Depicting several subject matters including 3 soldiers, one with his hat on the floor, one seated on a horse stamped 96 and one standing with his hat in hand. The interesting thing about all these figures is that the faces are all black one photos of a male face (who we believe to be Mr Bertrand). With a dove flying above holding a souvenir wreathe, with another dove carrying an olive branch. The reverse of this paining is mounted on an old calendar which is still firmly intact attached. A wonderful piece of folk-art militaria art, completely untouched in form still in its original maple frame. Size in inches: H 16.5” x W 21.5” x D 0.75” Origin: Germany Condition: This painting is over 100 years old, still in complete original condition.
