The Scarlet Lancers 1846

In 1846 all light cavalry regiments were instructed by Horse Guards to adopt blue tunics in order to distinguish them from the heavy cavalry. The 16th Lancers had adopted scarlet in 1830 and had become attached to it. As a result the Regiment petitioned The Queen directly that they be allowed to maintain their scarlet. The petition was granted  and the 16th became the only light cavalry regiment to wear scarlet. They quickly became known as 'The Scarlet Lancers'. This tradition is evident today in The Queen's Royal Lancers with the use of a scarlet background to the Motto when worn on berets. On their return from India the 16th were garrisoned in Ireland. Having only recently returned home, they did not deploy to the Crimea. The Crimean War was the only major campaign in which the Regiment was not directly involved.

 

 

 

 

Title:                             The 16^th Lancers       

Provenance:                Private collection from the artists family and then via auction at Mallams

                                       Full undisputed provenance

 

Description:                 A super example of Moore’s work, which was mainly, highly detailed military subjects; he also painted figurative work and animal studies mostly in watercolours. This piece is a beautifully crafted piece of work showing a Lancer in his uniform that dates from 1890 and Moore has paid particular attention to the fine detail of the uniform and the horse and tack.

                                      This is one of a collection of water colours by this artist that I have purchased and is fresh to the market being from the estate of the artist via his family. I shall be listing others on E Bay as well.

                                      A truly lovely illustration, the watercolour is strengthened with gouache and body colour to give a really vibrant feel to the colours.

                                      A great collectors item of very good quality, note the assuredness of line and minimum effort that the artist has used in his draughtsmanship.

                                      This item would look fantastic when framed and part of a military collection, or hung by itself.

 

                                      This is a great opportunity to acquire part of a superbly painted collection by this highly talented and exhibited artist.
