Antique 18th Century French Portrait Miniature Revolutionary Military Officer with Uniform, Medal prie dieus one a fan tail pheasantSuperb mid late 1700s portrait miniature of a military officer set in an elaborate and heavy bronze frame that I am sure is not original to the painting, but does add to the appeal and elevates display of the fine painting. I'm not that good at identifying the old military medals, but I know the French Medal of Honor is a 5 point rather than 4. If you know what this one is, please email so we can annotate info about this distinguished officer. TIA.
