1930's France, Pair of Signed Eugène Pechaubès Hand-Colored Cavalry Prints
About the Item
Artist: Eugène Pechaubès (French, 1890–1967)
Titles: India – Body Guards – Officer and 1er Empire Garde Impériale – Trompette du 2e Lanciers
Medium: Offset lithographs or gravure with hand-coloring
Signature: Pencil signed lower right on both works
Country: France
Date: Mid-20th century
Description:
A striking pair of hand-colored equestrian military prints by French artist Eugène Pechaubès, best known for his detailed depictions of historic cavalry regiments and Napoleonic pageantry. Each image is richly rendered and delicately enhanced with watercolor by hand, highlighting the ornate uniforms and regalia of elite mounted units.
The first work depicts an officer of the Indian Body Guards, dramatically posed on a powerful bay steed in full scarlet regimental dress. The second features a trumpeter of the 2nd Lancers of Napoleon's Imperial Guard, resplendent on a white horse with red and gold livery, set against a light wash of ground and sky.
These works reflect Pechaubès’s passion for historical costume and military ceremony, combining documentary accuracy with painterly flair. The artist exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français and was known for capturing the grandeur of mounted troops with elegance and precision.
Both prints are pencil signed in the margin and beautifully matted and framed, ready to hang. A handsome and highly collectible set for the militaria enthusiast, equestrian art collector, or traditional interior.
One print is titled "1er Empire Garde Impériale Trompette du 2e Lanciers", referring to the Napoleonic Imperial Guard, a favorite theme in Pechaubès's oeuvre.
The other, "India – Body Guards – Officer", suggests Pechaubès also turned to depicting colonial and ceremonial military uniforms of other empires—especially during a time when European interest in colonial subjects and historic pageantry was high (1930s–40s).
