Description: | Even though this painting was originally attributed to an artist named 'Foret' or 'Forest', and credited with a signature, examination of the painting revealed no sign of it. It is difficult to date, but the soldier's tricorn and red uniform jacket may give some idea. It appears from historical sources that the tricorn was widely used in the king's army in the eighteenth century, and then again under Napoleon. As the painting looks more nineteenth century than eighteenth, it may therefore represent a soldier from Napoleon's army. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; animal (horse); military and war | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9016... | Go to resource |
