18th century gentleman by George Ranstead
A curious eighteenth century gent wearing a silk frock coat and tricorn hat lifts a monocle to his eye to see better. Drawn by George Ranstead, an amateur soldier artist of the Great War who served in the Army Pay Corps. Ranstead was one of many soldiers of WWI who took up drawing as a hobby. His subjects range from wartime humour to pictures of pretty girls and are clearly influenced by images in the illustrated magazines of the period
