Yver Martin hat folgende Anfrage auf Facebook gestellt, die ich hier mal wiedergebe. Ich selbst habe keine Antwort außer, dass ich keine "Uniform" kenne, die der dargestellten entspricht :
Question for the summer
Detaille had a brother
...well not just one brother but a posse of brothers and sisters, half-brothers and half-sisters...His father had bene twice widowed and had remarried a third time...but the question isn't about that. Here is a watercolor by Henry Detaille (younger brother). What is it ?
It's clearly a 1st Empire period officer in evening dress. the coat "french cut" is white with yellow facings, including 3 transverse laces on the collar ! One thinks of course of a twon honour guard (the easy option when one has no clue) or maybe an allied officer..Holland ?
So, if any reader has a clue ?
(we do not have the answer - this is really a call for help !)67731046_2475103769217486_6318541567007129600_n.jpg
