Elizabeth Thompson’s painting The 28th Regiment at Quatre Bras. The painting depicts the 28th Regiment (North Gloucestershire) of Foot formed into a square to hold against cavalry attack at Quatre Bras, two days before the Battle of Waterloo. The painting is wonderful, save for the shakos, which ought to be stovepipe, but are depicted as false-fronted Belgic. -- source link
