Description: | According to military costume experts, the soldiers represented here are no doubt cavalrymen, a fact confirmed by their wearing high boots and shoulder straps allowing them to carry their muskets. The shape of their sleeves (with a narrow end), as well as the fact that the bottom of their jackets appears to be pulled together indicates that these uniforms must date from about 1760 onwards. They may well belong to the Chartres cavalry regiment. The silver-trimmed cover on the horse suggests that the man riding is an officer. The soldier wearing blue and red cannot be identified as many regiments wore these two colours. | Subjects: | landscape; military and war; figure; animal (horses) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9025... | Go to resource |
