China Marine painting by Mary Augusta Mullikin


This is an interesting one: a 1946 portrait of a US Marine, painted in China in 1946 by renowned artist Mary Augusta Mullikin, famed for her China landscapes. This was painted after she was released from the Japanese prisoner of war camp where she had spent World War II. I have a lot more about her and the subject of the painting here: http://hudsonmilitaria.com/Mullikin/
