English Provincial School (19th century)A soldier of the 40th Foot and his wife, in a grey dress and blue ribbon, holding a prayer book, a ship setting sail behind hera pair, oil on canvas34 x 27cm (2)The 40th (2nd Somersetshire) Regiment of Foot was an infantry regiment of the British Army, raised in 1717 in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia. Under the Childers Reforms it amalgamated with the 82nd Regiment of Foot (Prince of Wales’s Volunteers) to form the Prince of Wales’s Volunteers (South Lancashire Regiment) in 1881. In the 18th and 19th centuries the regiment wore a scarlet coat with buff facings, silver lace and buttons arranged in pairs on the cuff, as in the present painting.The uniform and the shako in the picture, plus the haircut, dates the picture to the early 1800s; the pattern of helmet depicted was introduced in 1799 and abandoned in 1814. The sitter is a Sergeant Major (4 chevrons). He has silver lace epaulettes, carries a swagger cane and wears a sword, all of which confirm that rank attribution. The use of 4 chevrons as a badge of rank was only introduced in 1802, helping to further date the picture to 1802-1814.The regiment served in Australia in 1823-1828, when it fought in the Black War (1825-1832) against the indigenous peoples of Australia. The regiment returned to Australia in 1852 and was involved in the Eureka Rebellion (1854). There exists in Melbourne, Australia, today the 40th Regiment Living History Unit, a group of enthusiasts dedicated to preserving the memory of the 40th. This unit, which is affiliated with the 40th successor regiment in title (Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment) wears the uniform of the 40th at the time it was based in Australia, and so is not the uniform depicted in the painting.We are grateful to Christopher Joll for his assistance with the catalogue entry.Condition report: Lined and cleaned. Craquelure overall and the wife has a line of damage bisecting her portrait and old stretcher bar marks can be seen from the front. Few chips to the gilt frames.
