Portrait of a French officer
Watercolor and gouache on vellum
19th century
1 3/4 x 2 1/4 in., framed to 2 3/8 x 2 3/4 in.
Contemporary or near-contemporary brass mat. Period inscription with modern touch-ups to portrait verso
An attractive portrait of a French officer wearing a blue coat with a red sash across his chest. Pinned to his left is a large badge, perhaps the Order of the Holy Spirit. While there is an inscription on the back possibly identifying this man, it is hard to read, making this an interesting research project.
[Art, Fine Art, Portrait Miniature, Paintings, 19th Century, French Revolution, France, Napoleon]
