Ceremony of the Keys by Terence Cuneo. [print]

Ceremonial locking of the Tower of London which takes place every night and has done for centuries. The painting depicts the custodian of the Queens keys, the chief Yeoman Warder being challenged by the sentry on duty who at the time of the painting was a member of the Gurkha Regiment. Terence Cuneo remarked I may be one of the few people to have had the privilege of having the Tower specially reopened for them after it had been ceremonially locked for the night.
