Lot Essay

Victor Gebauer is not listed amongst Russian emigre artists, but throughout his caricatures of the soldiers and officers of the white Russian armies, he managed to leave an extremely rare insight concerning the uniforms worn by these units.

In fact, some of the caricatures depict units and regiments created during the Civil War in the South of Russia, like the Alexeev regiment or the Markov Officer regiment
