Frederick Buck, Miniature Portrait of an Officer

19th century
Description

This fresh-faced sandy-haired officer in his red coat has a silver epaulette and a cross-belt showing the regimental badge of the 28th Regiment. The 28th (North Gloucestershire) Regiment of Foot was first raised in 1694 and was active in many campaigns. During the early 1800s, when this miniature was painted, the Regiment saw action during the Napoleonic Wars.

In excellent fresh condition, the miniature is set in the original gold-plated frame that is enclosed reverse.

The younger son of an Irish silversmith, Frederick Buck (1765-1840) was a prolific and resourceful artist working mostly in his native Cork where his sitters comprised the local gentry and the passing military. He married twice and had at least eight children.
