Civil War Regalia of Major Levi Gheen McCauley
A trompe l'oeil still life shows a black military shako with a white cross and the number 17, two crossed curved sabers, a leather pouch marked 7, a belt, sashes, tassels, and two small medals pinned to a tan wall. The realist oil painting on canvas renders metal, leather, and cloth with even light against a warm neutral ground.
