Jason, Very sharp pard. One question though. Why is Lafayette wearing a white waistcoat? Just curious. ~Gary
Thanks! I liked the contrast the waistcoat gives in Richard Hook's version. I think there's another illustration with him in a white waistcoat, most likely Hook's inspiration.
Hook may have gotten it from a painting of Lafayette around the time of the French Revolution. ~Gary
Yeah, thats what I suspect. Still, looks cool to me. And it's not necessarily inaccurate nor improbable that they would wear one not "uniform". If we went strictly by paintings such as Peale's, we would be fooling ourselves. As you know these were studio paintings toward the end and after the war. What they wore in the field, I'm willing to bet, were somewhat different then the studio setting.
Hey Jason,
Looks really nice. I wish I could produce as many nice things as yourself. Maybe one day I can get a little more motivated! Anyways great looking dio and look forward to seeing it in person.

Thanks Joe! As you know it's tough staying motivated on large projects. It's like running up-hill all the time, but if your in shape it dosn't hurt so bad. Thats why I can't take too many long breaks between projects, I get soft...Now if I can apply that work ethic to my own physical shape, I would be a trim 155 pounds!
excellent painting and sculpture!!!
congratulations from Brazil!!!
