拍品专文

In 1814, upon entering Paris, Emperor Alexander I, in spite of his well-known inclination towards refined foppishness, did not wear his parade uniform. An officer of the Russian general head-quarters had to incessantly shout out: 'Cheval blanc, panache blanc' ('White horse, white plume') to the Parisians, who were looking out for the Emperor in the magnificent cavalcade. In the present lot, the Emperor is depicted in precisely this uniform.
