Description:

Buffalo soldiers, members of the 9th and 10th cavalry regiments and 24th, 25th, and 38th infantry regiments, were the first all African American peacetime regiments created by the United States. These regiments served valiantly until being integrated into other regiments following Executive Order 9981 which desegregated the military in 1948. The buffalo soldiers are most well known for their service alongside the Rough Riders led by future President Theodore Roosevelt during the heroic fighting in the Spanish American War at the battle of San Juan Hill. This painting appears to take place in the plains of the American Southwest. The group of Buffalo Soldiers are taking time to commend one of their fellow men to the next life. In the foreground is a fallen solider surrounded by a hail of arrows. At the fallen soldier's head is a bible lying in front of one of his regiment members who's on one knee praying over his fallen friend. Several mounted soldiers are mourning behind him, after what appears to have been savage fighting based on the state of the tattered American flag. The painting is signed "RICK/REEVES/'00" and mounted in an antiqued grey frame with wavy gold border around the art itself. The frame measures 22 3/4 inches by 29 1/2 inches.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall with minimal handling and storage marks, vibrant colorations, and crisp detail. The frame is also excellent with minimal wear. This would look perfect hanging with any American military collection!
