This very large and highly decorative painting was discovered along with a similar 19th century Royal Artillery woolwork, which is listed seperately. This watercolour painting displays the regimental crest of the Royal Marines Light Infantry set between four images of Marines through the ages. It measures 28"x 22" in it's original frame and under glass. Each figure measures 5" tall and is beautifully painted.
