This was the bright spot in a rather disappointing lot of flats...
Appears to be a general, but not French, Russian or Prussian, as far as I can tell. I initially thought it might be Austrian given the chapeau and plume, but the embroidery and buttons do not seem correct. The pigtail would seem to indicate pre-1800 to 1805.
I cannot help but admire the striking resemblance to Mussolini.
General from Naples perhaps?
I'd like to start on this but painting will be problematic if I cannot identify the uniform.
Any help appreciated.
