Eugene Leviepvre is well know for the painting of animals and French soldiers. However Leliepvre also did 20+ Civil War prints. I was at an antique store today and could not resist this print.
I find the subject interesting and I love the very bright colors which my scanner dose not do justice to. It is professionally framed and in great condition and penciled signed by the artist. Still I wonder what I will do with it, because I have no wall space maybe put it in a closet. Seems like a waste.
My question is, what do forum members think about the uniform worn by the Texan cavalry scout.
A black hat with star, dark brown jacket with red trim on the cuffs and down the front, gray trousers with red trim, yellow and red shirt, and large blue scarf or tie. He wears a star belt plate. He is armed with a shotgun and two pistols with stars on the holsters. He seems well uniformed and reasonably well armed.
I like the work despite any possible uniform or weapons issues.
