Mounting of the Guard c. mid 19th century

"Mounting of the Guard" is a mid-19th-century painting by the British artist Redpath (1770-1910). The painting depicts a scene of soldiers marching in front of a fortified castle along a river. The scene is set against a backdrop of hills, trees, and a distant city. This artwork is a fine example of Redpath's talent for capturing the drama of military life with a sense of realism.
