Brothers in Arms


Frederick Burnaby by James Tissot 1870s


Little Augury has beaten me to it here with the new portrait of Princes William & Harry in uniforms of the Household Cavalry, The Blues & Royals. Painted by Nicky Philipps for the National Portrait Gallery.  




The charming informality of the two young soldiers references two great paintings of the past.
