No question that one of the most important figures in the Allies winning World War II was Field Marshall "Monty" Montgomery. He defeated Erwin Rommel and "The Desert Fox" in North Africa that was made famous in the movie by the same name. He also was a thorn in General Pattons side as they rushed to liberate Italy. They were extremely competitive. Check out the movie "Patton" to see Pattons thoughts regarding Monty.
This original oil is signed indistinctly on the lower right corner. I have included a couple photos of the signature. It is extremely painterly and well done. A perfect addition to the collection of a World War II, anglophile or British military history buff. I love this painting. It is 6" x 8" and is on masonite. It is available for sale here.
