Eric Mason painting `Up the Mall`, Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment Horse Guards, large oil on canvas, signed,1970 English.
This vintage painting & frame are both in the original vintage condition.
This large painting, together with the British Royal Military equestrian theme and the vibrant tones, would make a striking addition to a range of interiors such as Art Deco, Traditional, Country or Contemporary.
In this painting the eye is attracted to the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment Horse Guards, positioned along The Mall in London England. It is signed by the artist in the top right corner with his abstract monogram: a combination of vertical & horizontal brush stroke lines.
The mood is bright and festive. This is reflected in the colourful uniforms, the blue sky and the green of the trees, all emphasized by the contrast with the dark tones of the horses.
The artist shows his imagination and skill. The surface of the oil painting has a `sandy` textured feeling to the touch creating an interesting perspective. The background is more abstract in style to the more traditional painting of the horse guards in the foreground, giving the illusion of motion of the riders on their procession.
This painting sits within the original vintage wooden frame. It is painted beige with a band in slightly textured beige fabric and a subtle very fine silver trim. On the reverse, along the horizontal top portion is written the title of the painting: `Up The Mall Eric Mason 1970` & `40/1970 Eric Mason`. It is also stamped at the bottom: `The Gordon Gallery, Fine Art Dealers, 57 High Street, Wimbledon Village, London SW19`.
The 2 original rings fitted at either side of the frame are present, along with new gold tone metal wiring to hang the picture to the wall.
