These paintings show all the elements expected of a fashionable portrait painter of the day in particular Michael Dahl 1659-1743, Mary Beale 1632-1697,and Willem Wissing 1656-1687 all these working from the ideals laid down by such painters as van Dyke, and the larger studios of Kneeler 1646-1723 and lely 1618-1680. His famous work being the portrait of the diarist Samuel pepys; Extract from Pepys diary, 17 March 1666: ...at noon, home to dinner, and presently with my wife out to Hales`s, where I am still infinitely pleased with my wife`s picture. I paid him 14l for it, and 25s for the frame, and I think it is not a whit too dear for so good a picture. It is not yet quite finished and dry, so as to be fit to bring home yet. This day I begin to sit, and he will make me, I think, a very fine picture. He promises it shall be as good as my wife`s, and I sit to have it full of shadows, and do almost break my neck looking over my shoulder to make the posture for him to work by.
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.
