EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking painting captures the image of a Duffadar, or Sergeant, of The First Bengal Lancers Cavalry, also known as "Skinners Horse," in the late 19th century. The Duffadar wears the distinctive uniform of the regiment, which includes a yellow turban, a red coat with gold lace and buttons, and white trousers. The lancer's outfit is completed with a black belt, a curved sword, and a lance with a pennon. The painting is the work of renowned British artist Malcolm Greensmith, who expertly captured the details of the Duffadar's uniform and the regimental insignia on his turban. The serene expression on the Duffadar's face conveys a sense of pride and discipline, reflecting the high standards expected of the soldiers in The First Bengal Lancers. The First Bengal Lancers were an elite cavalry regiment in the British Indian Army, formed in 1853. They gained their nickname "Skinners Horse" due to their distinctive yellow uniforms, which were said to resemble the color of a tiger's skin. The regiment saw action in numerous campaigns in India and beyond, including the Second Afghan War and the Anglo-Egyptian War. This painting, created in 1896, offers a glimpse into the rich history of The First Bengal Lancers and the role of the Indian soldier in the British colonial army. The intricate details of the Duffadar's uniform and the artist's skillful depiction of the subject make this a captivating piece of historical art.
