My husband, Teddy, collects ball-jointed dolls. These are
displayed in our front room.
Towards the end of the year the low sun shines directly into
the far corners of the room and risks fading both the face-paints and clothes
of the dolls.
As I didn’t want the curtains permanently closed, I made this
screen for him by hinging three canvases
together.
Painting the canvases not only made it more pleasant to look
at, but also increased the protection it provides.
As you can see, I was able
to choose the subject matter and picked Napoleonic uniforms.
The uniforms are an officer of the lancer squadron of the
Duke of Brunswick, a sergeant of the 71st regiment of British line
infantry and an officer of French Empress’s Dragoons of the Imperial Guard.
Until next time
Adieu
