EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, we are introduced to Colonel Philip McPherson CB of the 17th (The Leicestershire) Regiment of Foot. Painted by David Cunliffe in 1855, this oil on canvas print showcases the distinguished military officer in all his glory. Colonel McPherson exudes power and authority as he stands tall, clad in his immaculate British Army uniform. His full beard adds a touch of ruggedness to his otherwise refined appearance. Adorned with numerous medals and decorations, it is evident that McPherson's service to his country has been exemplary. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Victorian-era masculinity through intricate details such as the ornate sword hanging from McPherson's side and the meticulously crafted epaulettes on his shoulders. Every brushstroke seems to bring life to this remarkable individual who has dedicated himself to defending his nation. McPherson's piercing gaze reflects both wisdom and determination acquired through years of experience on battlefields during the Peninsular War and Crimean War. It is clear that he possesses not only physical strength but also an unwavering sense of duty towards protecting those under his command. This portrait serves as a timeless reminder of Colonel Philip McPherson's significant contributions to British military history. As we admire this painting, we cannot help but feel a deep respect for those who have selflessly served their countries throughout history.
