-Queen's Guard- still bank c. 20th century

"Queen's Guard" is a ceramic sculpture depicting a British guardsman in his iconic red uniform and black bearskin hat. The anonymous artist, working in the 20th century, captures the whimsical charm of the subject, adding a playful touch with a stylized face and simplified features. This charming piece, housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a delightful representation of British cultural iconography, evoking the pomp and ceremony associated with the Queen's Guard.
