ENGLISH SCHOOL,1830-1850 PORTRAIT OF AN OFFICER THE ROYAL FUSILIERS (7TH REGIMENT OF FOOT) bust length in uniform, oil on canvas, 73 x 59.5cmThe dating of the handsome post Regency Portrait of an Officer, perhaps a Captain of the Grenadier Company of his battalion of the Royal Fusiliers, is confirmed by details of the uniform. A boxed epaulette precludes a date before 1830 and the sitter's coatee was replaced by a tunic in about 1850.
