Claudius Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 I would like to thank Saxcob and Augustin1813 who identified this gentleman and his award. if I ever return to this tavern, I will have to contact management/ownership. They can add a brass plaque below and return this gentleman from the unknown. or maybe I’ll email them. (It’s not ideal. I’m likely to get a “that’s nice. Thank you for letting us know” response.

GreyC I guess it must be a copy. I would feel better knowing it is a copy, considering where in the basement tavern I found it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augustin1813 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 (edited) At this time, it was customary to make several copies of the same portrait. I have in my collection a portrait of general Beaumont d'Autichamp which I know exists in ay least two other copies!

GreyC Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Thank you. Compared to the one in the museum the tavern copy is a rather crude one, especially w regard to the execution of the face. GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
