C. Reinhart
Portrait of a high-ranking French officer
Watercolor and gouache
1806
2 1/4 x 2 3/4 in., framed to 4 3/4 x 5 1/2 in.
Contemporary or near-contemporary wood frame.
A handsome portrait of a high-ranking French officer in full uniform. He is seen wearing a dark embroidered coat with a high red collar and a blue sash draped across his chest. Based on his epaulettes, this man was at least a colonel; there are possibly some shapes that can just be made out on the portrait-right epaulette, so he very well could hold a higher rank. This is further supported by the large Légion d'honneur (Legion of Honor) Grand Cross of the order pinned to his breast.
