JAMES WARREN CHILDE (1778-1862) PORTRAIT OF AN OFFICER Seated, long half length, wearing uniform, signed and inscribed 39 Bedford St Strand, watercolour 20.5 x 18.5cm. * Childe gave this as his address from 1837 onwards. We are very grateful to Christopher Bryant who suggests that this is an officer of the light company of either a regiment of the line (i.e. British regular army, possibly 30th or 32nd) or the Honourable East India Company, c.1835-1842. ++ Some fading; tear upper right corner; period rosewood frame
