Thank you, Paul. Very difficult to do caricatures that are not with the head in profile but I had to show the plume on one side and the medals on the other.

NEW limited edition print of only 200. The original painting was commissioned by the Regiment. Prints are available via my website www.alixbaker.com, and go to Military/Caricature Catalogue and click on the last image and full information will come up.
