the black brunswicker (detail) - john everett millais
by the way in the corner is a picture of Napoleon. This is one of my favorite paintings to be honest. It is set at the Duchess of Richmonds ball, before the battle of Quatre Bras, where a volunteer cavalry group known as ‘The Black Brunswickers’ were all but annihilated and yet performed great feats of valor.
Although to be honest that dog really annoys me. I mean, yes, it’s cute…but it looks like it whines a lot and barks and hops about on it’s tiny little feet-okay yes I’m not a dog person. -_-
