Colonel-Commandant of the Lancers of the Guard, Westphalia

Water colour on card

30.5 x 23cm

In 1810, the well-known artist, Alexander Sauerweid, produced a series of illustrations on the army of the Kingdom of Westphalia. Most of the images were of the Guard regiments. These illustrations represent the most comprehensive contemporary uniform study of the Westphalian Army, with 9 different illustrations made in total.

This image appears to be an old and possibly contemporary water colour copy drawn from the original print. In the bottom right hand corner is a library stamp.
