Nice sculpt. I know next to nothing about Napoleonics, but I have never seen a French Hussar uniform like the one worn here with the shako. Is it a uniform worn by a hussar officer from a nation (allied) to Napoleon and not actually French? Thanks in anticipation of anyone who can clarify.

I was wrong in my first comment regarding the Captain of Hussars. It is indeed a Hussar in "Tenue de Ville" uniform.

The Sculptor used the below image as an example, this is Captain Marcellin.

Gary this is actually a form of walking out dress for Hussars, (Tenue de Ville), worn with Shako.
Often worn by officers on attachment, the aiguilette shows a staff appointment as far as I know.
Here's a Capt 5th Hussars.

Thanks Paul for the information and that's a uniform I have never seen before so it makes a change from 'a pelisse with everything' French Hussar.

Some wore the surtout with single row of buttons as undress too.
Practical in Egypt, and stayed practical elsewhere.
