Circa 1790 Miniature Depicting A Young Officer Of The National Guard
The Garde Nationale was founded the day after the storming of the Bastille, and disbanded by Charles X.
Created spontaneously, it was placed under the authority of each municipality by the Constituent Assembly.
The original motto inscribed on the buttons of the uniforms created for this new military corps is "the nation, the law and the king"
This young man is wearing this distinctive uniform.
Fine democratic whiskers adorn his face and he wears his bicorne with a touch of pride.
Pretty painted, in its original metal frame, it's in very good condition.
Only the rear window is broken (it was the place where you could put a lock of hair).
I didn't want to remove it to avoid damaging the frame, but it's possible, as a background is already inside.
