[D'h...]
Portrait of a French light infantry officer
Watercolor and gouache on bone(?)
19th century
Diam. 2 1/2 in., framed to 4 3/4 x 5 in.
Contemporary or near-contemporary wood frame
A fine portrait of a French light infantry officer. He is seen in a dark blue coat with a high red collar, as well as silver piping, epaulettes, and buttons. Based on the epaulettes, it's probable that this man was a captain. A signature can be seen toward the right of the portrait, but remains partially covered by the frame.
