A charming French miniature portrait of a uniformed officer, dating from the early 19th century.

The sitter is depicted in a dark military coat with a high red collar richly decorated in gold, suggesting an officer of some standing. He has been identified as possibly a medical officer, although this attribution remains uncertain.

The miniature is presented within a gilt oval surround and black wooden frame. The portrait itself remains attractive and well preserved, while the wooden frame shows some minor damage.
