I would like to suggest a figure in turned back greatcoat, without epaulettes, wearing a bonnet de police.Such a figure could then be painted as French republican 1870, Austrian in fatigue cap 1866 or even Spanish from the Carlist War. There may well be others that I am unaware of.
+1, good request.
+2!
+3
and no backpacks!
and maybe the same figure but with a beret for the Carlist War opposition
