Questions : Story Behind the Painting
Hi Spiral , who are the fellows in blue supposed to represent ?
As an aside I would suggest that the last man standing may himself bear fatal wounds . One last question is this painting representative of a particular battle ? |

Hello Rick,
The painting does represent both a particular individual and a particular battle, however stupidly I forgot to take the details down, but I will find out for you and myself. Personally I don't think the person was using the kukri and Talwar in combination, the artist has shown them as weapons used by the individual. Cheers Simon |

Hello Simon, Rick,
perhaps I can help a bit? Here is the complete display & the label that went with it. My guess is the other torn label stuck on the picture would tell the full story. Perhaps the Captain is the last man standing? his kukri in the case is badly chipped in several places. I think the men in blue are Nepali soldiers {Gurkhas?} & the loincloth fellows are Indian. but thats just an educated guess, based on clothing. Spiral photos.copywrite Spiral {JRS} 2005 |
