Description

7th Regiment NGNY Sergeant’s Miniature Portrait In Case. The portrait appears to be a photographic image on milk glass, and there appears to be no signature that I can see.  The rank of this man is a battalion sergeant major. The artwork is very professionally done; the gilt aspects of the uniform are achieved with different shades oil paint. Detailing really makes this portrait pop.

Size of image and frame is 3 3/8  x 2 3/4 inches.  The leather show wear, but can be improved. The push button lock works on the case.

Some research of the 7th Regiment will likely reveal the name of this soldier.
