| Mrs WM: "Is that Napoleon?" WM: "Ney, Lass". |
I had a suspicion when I first saw this figure that I knew which painting had been the inspiration, and seeing them side by side I think there can be no doubt about it!
The figure, of course, is Hinton Hunt FN 354: Marshal Ney, on horse FNH 10.
The painting is a detail from Ernest Meissonier's 1864 painting, Campagne de France 1814.
