Note du spécialiste

Although famed as a painter of railways (see lot 48), Terence Cuneo also excelled at ceremonial scenes and was chosen as one of the official artists to record the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on 2 June 1953. His rapid, painterly style, innate grandeur of composition and enjoyment of pageantry make this depiction of The Household Cavalry emerging from Hyde Park particularly vivid.
