cutiger83 Posted October 10, 2011 Share #8 Posted October 10, 2011 Great picture! I love the EGAs on the helmets. However, the price seems a little spendy. Just my opinion. Is it worth that much? ....Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leatherwringer Posted October 10, 2011 Share #9 Posted October 10, 2011 I have that same picture....although it has seen better days! I wonder who really drew it??my copy is signed by F.E. Schoonover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teufelhunde.ret Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share #10 Posted October 10, 2011 My understanding is F.E. Schoonover is the original artist of the painting (he is the son of a Marine Colonel as well) and its is the hands of the Marine Corps Museum. Holland is the illustrator who did the B&W sketch show here for the magazine. It appears to be his original pencil work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leatherwringer Posted October 10, 2011 Share #11 Posted October 10, 2011 Holland is the illustrator who did the B&W sketch show here for the magazine. It appears to be his original pencil work. I think Holland just copied his drawing from the magazine itself upon rereading and looking at the original post. The description in the frame is the same as on my copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not realize who was the artist of the original painting. As you said, it will be interesting to watch this auction. Is the original painting done by Schoonover a B&W sketch as well? ...Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tlowe95 Posted June 24, 2020 Share #16 Posted June 24, 2020 9 years later. I grabbed this at a auction this month and I believe it's the same one reframed. Description was identical and after research I think only one was done. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
