19th C. Monogrammed Watercolour 6th Dragoon Guards
We are pleased to offer this exceptionally detailed 19th Century watercolour which is dated 1889 and signed in the lower right hand corner with a monogram, which is any combination of the letters CCJ or CCY. The painting depicts a Captain of the 6th Dragoon Guards, mounted on a black bay horse. His rank is denoted by the two silver pips on the corded epaulettes on his shoulders which were brought in in 1881.
This is one of a pair of watercolours by this artist that we will be listing.
The Carabiniers (6th Dragoon Guards) was a cavalry regiment of the British Army. It was formed in 1685 as the Lord Lumley's Regiment of Horse. It was renamed as His Majesty's 1st Regiment of Carabiniers in 1740, the 3rd Regiment of Horse (Carabiniers) in 1756 and the 6th Regiment of Dragoon Guards in 1788. After two centuries of service, including the First World War, the regiment was amalgamated with the 3rd Dragoon Guards (Prince of Wales's) to form the 3rd/6th Dragoon Guards in 1922.
The original uniform of the Queen Dowager's Regiment of Horse is recorded as including a red coat lined with green. In common with other regiments of Horse, cuirasses were worn until 1699. In 1715 the regimental facing colour was changed to pale yellow. In 1768 white lapels were adopted by Royal Warrant. Silver epaulettes were worn by the officers. In 1812 a new model of leather helmet was issued, carrying the title of "6th Dragoon Guards or Carabiniers". In 1861 a complete change of uniform was authorized by Queen Victoria, following the conversion of the regiment to a light cavalry role and appearance. Thereafter until 1914 the full dress of the regiment was entirely dark blue with white facings. Although the designation of Dragoon Guards was retained, the 6th was the only dragoon regiment in the British Army to wear dark blue tunics instead of scarlet. After 1873, a white plume was worn on the brass helmet.
Unfortunately, although checking the potential monogrammes in Peter Nahum's book of Victorian Monograms, we were unable to find the full name of the artist.
The painting is newly double mounted in two-tone acid-free mount board and is newly framed in a blue/black 1 7/16ths inch frame with ochre lines. It will be supplied with new brass hangers, new brass picture wire and will be ready to hang.
Image size: 9 3/4 x 5 3/4 inches - 24.75cm x 14.6cm
Frame size: 17 5/8 x 13 5/8 inches - 44.75cm x 34.5cm
Medium: Watercolours on grey watercolour board
Condition: Excellent. There is no foxing and the colours are strong. The mounts and frame are new.
