Northern European School, Portrait Miniature c.1850, depicting a Prussian Hussar officer, standing three-quarter length in an extensive landscape, in full uniform wearing a feathered fur busby, short blue Attila adorned with extensive gold braiding and gold sash, a gold braided fur pelisse worn over his shoulder, red riding breeches. His hand resting on his sabre, the brass hilt decorated with the Prince of Wales feathers. Around his neck the Pour le Mérite medal tied with a black sash and a Waterloo medal on his chest, held in a contemporary gilt metal frame with scallop shell corners and centres, various scrolls and ribbons entwined with an Oriental serpent motif, terminating with various C-scrolls. Note: The colours of dolman, pelisse and breeches varied greatly by regiment, even within the same army. The French hussar of the Napoleonic period was armed with a brass hilted sabre and sometimes with a brace of pistols. Hussars were notoriously impetuous, and Napoleon was quoted as stating that he would be surprised for a hussar to live beyond the age of thirty due to their tendency to become reckless in battle, exposing their weaknesses in frontal assaults. The hussars of Napoleon created the tradition of sabrage, the opening of a champagne bottle with a saber.
