Description
Painted from life and inscribed by Lt. D. Carrall, this rare original 1850s portrait captures a trumpeter of the 7th Regiment of the Mexican Rurales with striking immediacy and historical depth.
Painted from life and signed into the scene by Lt. D. Carrall, this portrait captures a trumpeter of the 7th Regiment of Mexican Rurales with striking clarity and historical weight.
The identifying inscriptions are part of the painting itself, including “A Trumpeter of the 7th Regiment of Mexican Rurales” and “Painted from life by the Lieutenant D. Carrall.” That painted text gives the work unusual intimacy and documentary strength.
A compelling piece for collectors of Western history, Mexican military material, and early California and Southwest art.
