Another GREAT piece of art. The only thing I see is the US box plate isn't correct.:whistling: Just saying.
 
Oh wow @Stepsue1962 I think this is the BEST one you have posted yet!!!! :bounce:

I just love the face on this one. His is the most expressive face we have seen in your paintings so far. Well done!
 
What is the musket he is carrying? I know the 12th NJ was issued model 1842 Springfields (still had them at Gettysburg) but is what you have pictured an 1841 Mississippi rifle. I see what looks like a bayonet lug for a sword bayonet on the side of the barrel. Is that correct? Apparently a few of these latter arms were issued to some NJ troops but I don't know to what NJ regiments they were issued.
