EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas portrait depicts Captain F Farquharson of Eastbury, Dorset, a member of the esteemed 7th Hussars in 1836. Painted by Edmund Thomas Parris, this artwork is currently housed at the National Army Museum in London. Captain Farquharson's striking presence and military regalia are beautifully captured in this painting. Dressed in his elaborate hussar uniform, complete with intricate detailing and vibrant colors, he exudes an air of authority and bravery. The artist's attention to detail is evident as every brushstroke brings out the fine textures of the fabric and gleaming metal accents. It is worth noting that at the time this portrait was created, Captain Farquharson held the rank of cornet within his regiment. This suggests that the inscription on the painting indicating his captaincy may have been added later to commemorate his promotion. The 7th (The Queens Own) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons (Hussars), to which Captain Farquharson belonged, was renowned for its gallantry and service to Queen and country. This painting serves as a testament not only to Captain Farquharson's individual valor but also to all those who served alongside him. Through this remarkable piece of artistry, we catch a glimpse into history—a moment frozen in time—where an officer proudly stands ready for duty amidst a backdrop filled with honor, tradition, and unwavering dedication to their nation.
