Beautiful Portrait Of A Medal-winning Officer Colonel Of The First Empire, Oil/canvas Framed Circa 1806

Lovely portrait of a Colonel Officer of the First Empire dating from 1806. Well in its period frame in patinated gilt wood stuccoed with palmettes of a large molding with grooves. Oil on its clean and finely painted keyed frame with great realism. This proud Soldier with a direct gaze has a dignified and peaceful face, he does not sulk and his mouth suggests a slight smile. Proud of his medals the Order of the Holy Spirit, the Order of Saint Louis and the Legion of Honor, because this Colonel served the King then the Emperor. This remarkable painting is lively and certainly faithful to the model, well contrasted with beautiful colors, strong details. A decorative, historical portrait of a valiant officer who knew the transition by serving for both sides...Cleaned canvas on a solid frame with the original frame which suits it well and enhances it to seduce you, attractive price for a canvas of a military officer from this period (it was more than two centuries ago!!) respect
