Is the portrait life size? At whatever scale, the artist obviously studied the medals extremely closely and understood what he was painting. [ETA having now posted, I see that GlennJ has said the same thing - but better!] Edited February 14, 2019 by Trooper_D

Much clearer now is the tiny little medal tucked between the Hannoverian Guelphic Order and the Russian Saint George; his campaign medal for the 1831 campaign to put down the uprising in Neufchâtel. Regards Glenn Thank you Glenn for your help. The only medal that is still mystery to me, is the one between Officers 25-Year Long Service Cross and French Legion of Honour Officer‘s Cross.

Glenn J Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Oops, sorry, it is the Baden Campaign medal of 1849. The 1813/15 is to the other side of his 25 year cross. Regards Glenn
