Description: | signed & 480/500
image: To the left of image stands a helmeted and caped French Dragoon holding rifle and fixed bayonet. To his right a
vision of past equestrian valour, five historical mounted figures gallop as a merry-go-round in a white cloud. In the foreground a Dragoon
of the Revolutionary Army of 1792 brandishes a pistol in his right hand. Directly behind a Napoleonic Dragoon in green uniform dominates
the composition riding a rearing chestnut. To the right galloping away from the viewer a plaited Hussar, mounted upon a mottled grey,
brandishes his sabre. Of the two remaining figures in the background, one is indistinguishable and the other is a bewigged and plumed
Marshal of France, holding a baton in his left hand and astride yet another mottled and rearing grey. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | Allegory Animals 01/3(4-15) Weapons historical reference Action FR.A Uniforms | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Devambez, Paris | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
