7th regt de Chasseurs au Cheval (Napoleonic) 1809

This mounted Bandsman playing a bassoon is wearing reversed colours. Mounted Chasseurs were light horsemen created and mounted on small horses for reconnaissance duties. They wore green tunics with different facings to denote different regiments. A black coloured sheepskin cover (shabraque) with pink facings is placed over the saddle. This depiction is for a unit operating in Spain.

This piece was later modified.
