Colorful cartoon watercolor print by Theo Angeli mounted on a heavy poster-board backing. This painting shows a bunch of tourists piling up on top of each other with cameras to photograph a kilted Greek infantryman.   The tourists are all dressed for summer; colorful shorts, t-shirts, sundresses, summer hats etc.  The infantryman has brown hair and mustache.  He is dressed in traditional evzone uniform; red baret, white shirt with puffy sleeves, blue vest, short white kilt, white socks, traditional brown shoes with black pom-poms on them.  He is standing at attention, facing the tourists, holding a rifle with a bayonet on his left shoulder. 

Theo Anglei was most likely an American cartoon artist of Greek heritage who painted these as a hobby, probably around the 1960's.
