EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite oval portrait miniature on ivory captures the likeness of Lieutenant Robert (Roy) Scovell Richardson, a brave and distinguished soldier of the Machine Gun Corps during World War I. The intricate detail of the painting showcases Richardson's strong jawline, piercing eyes, and neatly combed hair. The miniature is enclosed in an elegant gold-colored case, adorned with intricate engravings. On the verso, the inscription reads "Lieutenant Robert Scovell Richardson, MC, Machine Gun Corps. Born 8th May 1893. Won the Military Cross at the taking of Mametz (Battle of the Somme) - 1st July 1916. Died 1st September 1916, aged 23, from wounds received before Ginchy." Richardson's Military Cross was awarded for his heroic actions during the Battle of the Somme, specifically during the taking of Mametz. He bravely led his men in the face of heavy enemy fire, inspiring them to press on and capture their objective. Tragically, he was later killed in action on 1st September 1916, just a few weeks after his 23rd birthday, from wounds received before the Battle of Ginchy. This miniature painting is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by young men like Lieutenant Richardson during the Great War. The intricacy of the painting and the historical significance of the subject make this a valuable addition to any collection of topographical or historical artwork, particularly those focused on the regiments and battles of World War I.
