Alexandre-Jean Dubois-Drahonet, a French
Versailles
in 1834.
In 1828 King
William IV of Great Britain commissioned a set of 100 small paintings in "oil on card", measuring 34.9 x 25.5 x 0.2 cm, illustrating the various uniforms of the British military. Most of these remain in the Royal Collection. Framed groups of them can be seen in a photograph of the Equerry’s Room in Windsor Castle of around 1900. A range of ranks are shown, and the models all named; whether they were all as tall and slim as he shows them might be doubted.[1]
He also produced a number of portraits of young boys in military uniform, including one of the
Duke of Bordeaux in the Bordeaux Museum
.
