    That is an unfortunate distraction. Otherwise, absolutely beautiful sculpt and paint!! Will probably buy it despite the sculpting error.

    A fantastic return from the great Youn Song! The best representation of Murat I've ever remember ... and a proof that a subject done to exhaustion ... just can be done once again ... putting others in the shade :)

    BTW ... Just in time for Christmas ... save your pennies dear friends! :hilarious:

    I'm no expert in miliatary decorations but I believe that these decorations were embroidered with silver thread sometimes combined with metal fittings. The decorations shown above are reproductions from the EmpireCostume site , but they illustrate this point well.
    Is it not possible Murat could have had the coat made incorporating the decoration before the braiding was added? This would make both the Ebroin sculpt and the painting it was based on feasible.
    As for the original painting I cannot see why such a talented portrait artist, probably working to commission, would make such a glaring error. The bottom portrait shows the decorations worn "outside" the braiding but the top illustration also shows them worn behind. Is it likely two artists would make the same error portraying different uniforms?
