EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the meticulous studies of Royal Horse Artillery Uniform, as well as an A. D. C. to the Commander in Chief. Created by George Jones, a renowned English artist, this unfinished sketch offers a glimpse into the world of military fashion during the early 19th century. The image features a male figure adorned with an impressive hat embellished with feathers, symbolizing his high rank within the British army. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke of Jones' brush, capturing not only the intricate design of the uniform but also conveying a sense of power and authority. The unidentified soldier depicted in this study is believed to be an aide de camp (A. D. C. ), serving as a trusted assistant to the Commander in Chief during one of history's most significant battles - The Battle of Waterloo. This composition serves as a preliminary study for Jones' larger oil painting dedicated to that historic event. Preserved at Yale Center for British Art, Paul Mellon Collection in America, this remarkable piece allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to 1815 when soldiers like these played crucial roles on battlefields while wearing uniforms that represented their allegiance and bravery.
