Painting Description
"A Silhouette of an Officer, Called Charles Hinde, Standing Full-length, Profile to the Left, Wearing Hussar Costume, Pelisse, Shako with Hanging Cock's Feather, Holding Carved Light Cavalry Sabre, Wearing a Fanciful Sabretache, Crowned Monogram Thereon" is a detailed silhouette portrait from the Royal Victoria Gallery, which captures the likeness of an individual identified as Charles Hinde. This artwork is a fine example of silhouette portraiture, a popular form of art in the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly before the advent of photography.
The subject, Charles Hinde, is depicted in full military regalia, indicative of his rank and role within the Hussars, a light cavalry unit known for their distinctive and elaborate uniforms. The silhouette showcases Hinde in profile to the left, providing a clear view of the Hussar costume, which includes a pelisse—a fur-trimmed and braided jacket worn over the shoulder—and a shako, a tall, cylindrical military cap adorned with a hanging cock's feather, adding to the grandeur of the figure.
The officer is also portrayed holding a carved light cavalry sabre, a weapon that was both functional and a symbol of status within the cavalry. Additionally, the artwork features a fanciful sabretache, a flat bag or pouch that hung from the belt, often used to carry orders and dispatches. The sabretache in the silhouette is noted for its crowned monogram, suggesting a connection to royalty or a high-ranking individual.
The Royal Victoria Gallery, responsible for this work, was an establishment known for producing and exhibiting silhouette portraits, which were cut from paper or painted and often served as affordable and accessible keepsakes or memorabilia.
This silhouette is a valuable historical artifact, providing insight into military fashion, iconography, and the social customs of the period. It serves as a testament to the skill of silhouette artists in capturing the essence and stature of their subjects through the stark contrast of light and shadow, despite the absence of detailed facial features and the limitations of the medium.
