No idea who painted this or if it is a conversion , but can take a damn good guess

Lovely plates, lovely theme, lovely to see you taking an interest in Napoleonics.
Just like giving my daughter my bob dylan, led zeppelin and other albums to discover;
and saying "I remember the original" when a cover version of a song is on the radio.
I knew Napoleonics would get popular again.
All I need now is a new pair of Flared jeans !
One small point though even the best painters seem to paint Tigerskins Wrongly.
At the rear of the saddlecloth the tiger skins front legs should have no stripes on the outside of the legs at all.
The stripes are horizontal from the inside and stop at the outside.
On the rear legs ( which are at the front of the saddlecloth), the stripes curl round the haunches from the tail root and disappear no lower than the "elbow".
Here's some piccies.
