A different coloration image can be found here.At around the same time, the artist painted this, shown by its current-location page (and described on pages 26-29 here), this, shown by its current-location page, and this, at the same museum as this one.All 4 have an officer, a letter, and a trumpeter (also functioned as a courier). The artist’s Wikipedia page (Google translated German Wikipedia page has more) and collection (more under Subcategories at each level).Seventh, of the 11 works, by this artist, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here.
1. Fancy dress ball , eh? That’s what they all say!
2. Please yourself, mate. I wouldn’t be seen dead in that get-up
3. You’re only a corporal?! Hate to think what the officers must look like!
4. I don’t care if you only want a piece of bumf papper to blow your nose — iit’ll still cost you a penny to get in. Use yoursleeve like everybody else!
