Original Item: Only One Available. This is a fantastic Spanish-American war era oil painting of a Spanish soldier wearing the iconic Rayadillo uniform. Rayadillo was a blue-and-white striped cotton or flannel material used to make the military uniforms worn by Spanish colonial soldiers from the mid 19th century until the early 20th century. It was commonly worn by soldiers posted in overseas Spanish tropical colonies and later, Spanish Morocco and Spanish Guinea.
It became popular after being worn during the Spanish–American War, and was later adopted by the Philippine Army. It also served as the summer uniform of the regular army in Spain until replaced by khaki drill in 1914.
The painting is in wonderful condition and appears to have been done on a ¼” thick pressed wood panel. The colors are faded slightly with cracking present but is still distinguishable.
A great work of art that comes more than ready for further research and display.
