A superb oil portrait on canvas of Prince Constantine of Waldburg-Zeil Trauchburg of Germany who was born on the 8th January 1807 and died in 1862.

The gallant looking officer of high rank and of Royal bloodline concentrates his gaze away from the artist,who has depicted him dressed wearing a military cross with crown above and with his white dress gloves seen held in right hand,his gold threaded shoulder epaulettes stand out with distinction against his red and double breasted dark blue tunic lined with brass bottons either side.A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A FABULOUS PORTRAIT &
