Product Details:

"Corporal, Grenadier Company, Gatinais Regiment, French Army" by Charles M. Lefferts portrays a distinguished non-commissioned officer from one of France’s elite infantry units that served in the American Revolutionary War. The corporal is shown wearing the regiment’s formal uniform: a white coat with violet facings, silver trim, and matching violet smallclothes, reflecting the distinct colors of the Gatinais Regiment. As a grenadier, he is outfitted with a tall bearskin cap featuring a brass front plate, symbolizing his elite status within the unit. His crossbelts support a cartridge box and bayonet, and he carries a musket, standing at attention in a disciplined pose. This vivid depiction underscores the professionalism and ornate dress of French grenadiers, whose support was crucial in battles like Yorktown, and highlights Lefferts' careful research in capturing the multinational character of the Revolutionary War.
