Portrait of an aristocrat
 

Dear experts, you are a good day! I ask your help in identifying the individual pictures! Of course the assumption of authorship is also interesting, but this is not important . <! - ~ 1 ~ -> Oil on canvas, 53h42sm .
On the canvas there are no data about the author. Was previously restored and conserved .

Here he writes Warsaw art :
PORTRAIT young aristocrat in uniform CAVALAIRE MALTIYSKOGO , about 1810
 
Right to be called a knight Maltiyskim granted only aristocrats and therefore we can safely identify an unknown man. The picture associated with the Vilnius portraitist Jan Rustem , on the basis of similarity to the known method of painting works of this author that are in the District Museum in Torune , painted in 1812 Portrait of Marshal Stanislaw Soltan ( 1756-1836 ) Portrait of Alois and Capelli ( 1777-1838 ) Professor of Law at Vilnius University ( Vilnius Hud.Muzeya in fees , which are reproduced in the exhibition catalog , around Vilnius classicism , the National Museum in Warsaw , Warsaw 2000, p 324 , p 335)

 Thank you for your attention

This is you in Napoleonic War Museum

If you believe that the author of Rustem, the search should be conducted among officials of the former.
Commonwealth, rather ON than the Kingdom of Poland.

Rustem
 

The fact that one hundred percent certainty the authorship of yet.
What will pour out your research and please tell me the approximate dates ?

In authorship , in my opinion , the least problems . The work must show Ms. Ruta Yanoniene (her monograph on Rustem , you should have ). And wait for the verdict. If you say that Rustem , then he is , and if not , then do not.

More importantly , whether the picture is related to Lithuania and Belarus. The artist could be a foreigner ( French ?) , And the character your own.

Lord , I believe that this is not a very good portrait of the hero of the Battle of Waterloo, Arthur Wesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (born Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington; 1769, Dunkankestl - September 14, 1852 ) - English military leader and statesman , the English Field Marshal ( July 3, 1813 ) , a member of the Napoleonic wars, the victor at Waterloo ( 1815). 25th and 28th Prime Minister of Great Britain.

Different people.

Think so too .

Arthur Wesley conferred the rank of lieutenant colonel September 30, 1793 .
May 3, 1796 the rank of colonel .
In September 1802 the rank of major general.
April 25, 1808 the title of lieutenant-general.
July 31, 1811 rank of full general
June 21, 1813 the title of Field Marshal


Form an unknown aristocrat (two epaulettes on both shoulders )
not like the form of Field Marshal Wellington ( epaulettes only on the right shoulder , which turns into a thick cable)

Here are portraits of Arthur Weasley in the form of Lieutenant Colonel in 1793 in the form of major-general in 1804 .
 
And a portrait of Field Marshal Arthur Wesley Francisco Goya's work .
And then suddenly, Wellington had to wear uniforms of the Maltese cavalier about 1810 ?

Here is a portrait of diplomat Sergei Lashkaryov Lazarevic ( Major General ) in the form of a Maltese Knight Borovikovsky.

I believe , as the collar on your portrait, two bars , it is a form of the Order of Malta komadora older titles than Lashkarev (corresponds to Lieutenant General ?)

Paul I nasozdaval in the Russian Empire as hereditary commanderies , set up as all sorts of positions for the Knights of Malta , which can be a lot of options .

After the war, in 1812 , Alexander I abolished the wearing of the form the Knights of Malta , but the known portraits after 1812.

This superficial approach . Hereditary commanderies were not many . In any case, all of the Belarusian- Lithuanian -known.

I think about the type of uniform can be consulted in the Order.
