General Ludwig my read on this is this. The gentlemen dancing symbolises the Russian bear in his Russian militia type uniform and the dog is Prussia dancing to the Tsar's tune. Some things of particular historical interest are Notice the heavy armament carried by the militia Notice how the dog seems to support himself (or is it her) on an invisible object. I would suggest it is the Ghost of Frederick the Great. As for the bright and vibrant colours featured throughout the image these would seem to me be a solid representation of the vitality of Prussian culture [:0] With my warmest regards [:D] General de Brigade Knox Baron de l'Empire 2e Regiment Gardes d'Honneur (the regaled pheasants) La Jeune Garde CO. 1er Brigade, III Division Cavalerie Legere, III Corps Armee du Nord http://www.aspire.co.nz/colinknoxnwc.htm

Could it be Bart over from the CCC? [:D][:p] Nope, Bart is a poodle! [8D] It looks terribly Russian to me for some reason.

You all read to much into this simple painting. Oviously it is a French marechal (in camp attire) and his dog who have just spied a mouse and are leaping back in terror...[:0]. Major General Ed Blackburn Commanding Second Div, II Corps, AAA 3rd Bn / 1st Regiment of Foot Guards
