Note du spécialiste

The 2nd Light Horse Lancers of the Imperial Guard, known from their uniforms as the Red Lancers, were formed in September 1810 and consisted mainly from Dutch personnel. The regiment suffered heavy casualties in this Russian campaign. Hoynck shows us the red uniforms and the czapska, the typical headdress for Lancer regiments. In the background horses are resting with lances with their fanions stuck into the ground.

We are grateful to Mr. J.A.C. Bartels for his help in cataloguing the present lot.
