Belt Dragoon Guards Knot Outfit Shoulder Undress Levees
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the regal presence of a Captain in the 3rd (Prince of Wales's) Dragoon Guards, dressed in full uniform for a levee. The Captain wears the elegant and intricately designed full dress uniform of the Dragoon Guards, complete with a bearskin hat adorned with a plume, a red coat with gold braid and buttons, and white waistcoat and breeches. His undress shoulder belt, sword belt, and sword knot add authenticity to his military attire. The Captain's expression conveys a sense of pride and dignity, fitting for an officer in the British Army. The painting, skillfully executed by Malcolm Greensmith, masterfully captures the rich details of the uniform and the Captain's character. The Dragoon Guards, also known as the "Welsh Cavalry," have a storied history dating back to 1685. This Captain, with his impeccable uniform and air of authority, represents the long and proud tradition of military service and dedication to duty. The undress shoulder belt, sword belt, and sword knot add practicality to the Captain's outfit, reminding us of the military function of this elegant uniform. The levee, a formal reception held by a monarch or other high-ranking official, was an important occasion for officers to display their regiment's pride and discipline. This portrait is a testament to the history and tradition of the British military, and the dedication of its officers to their duty and their regiments.
