Painted on card with his face in black and the uniform in colour, this officer is named on the reverse as Mr Nichol of The Cornish. He wears a red coat faced with navy, a cross belt decorated with a regimental red star badge, and a fantail hat with a feather plume.
Although inscribed reverse as being by Buncombe or Dillon and dating to the late 18th century, no firm attribution has been possible. The silhouette has a little rubbing to the epaulette but is otherwise good. It is housed in a period ebonised frame with a crenellated gilt inner border, a style of frame also used by Mrs Harrington at that time. The frame has a scattering of old worm holes.
Framed Size: 130 x 105mm
Provenance: Acquired for the Christie Collection in 1943
