About the piece
Painted in 1897 by Bernhard Sickert, this oil on panel captures the grandeur and atmosphere of London's Trooping the Colour at Horse Guards Parade. The work features loose brushwork and a soft, muted palette typical of Late Victorian Impressionism, focusing on the iconic architectural silhouette of the building against a cloudy sky and the orderly movement of the mounted guards during the pageant.
