A Military Portrait of a Hussar

19th century
Description

A 19thC unframed oil on canvas of a Hussar in uniform. Thought to be French due to the frame construction and subject. Distressed but colourful and very decorative in its untoutched condition. A very faint signature or initial is in the bottom right hand. The uniform is interesting and requires more research as it appears to be rare. A painting entitled 'The Hussar' by B.Wirth a French artist dated 1867 shows a very similar format (see last thwo photos). Brass ring to the rear for wall hanging. Flaked and cracked paint but with no holes we feel it is best left as is ,reflecting its passage through time rather than restored.

55 cm by 38 cm by about 2.5 cm deep.

FREE UK mainland delivery

Overseas buyers please ask for shipping costs before purchasing.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Military portraiture from this era features formal compositions depicting officers in regimental dress, complete with detailed uniforms, weaponry, and symbolic architectural props.

These artworks were typically executed using oil paints applied to stretched linen or cotton canvas, occasionally mounted onto wooden panels.

Authentic pieces feature period-accurate military uniform details, natural paint craquelure, historical canvas weave texture, and age-appropriate wear along the margins.

Such artwork can be positioned above a mantelpiece or sideboard within a study, dining space, or library to provide historical texture and visual focus.

Keep the canvas out of direct sunlight and high humidity, clean surface dust gently with a soft dry brush, and consult a professional restorer for canvas stabilization.
