Brunet, H - portrait of a soldier

Although not of high quality, this miniature portrait is signed and dated "H Brunet 1836".

There are three artists named Brunet listed in Blattel, but the dates recorded do not fit with 1836.

Thus this portrait appears to be by a previously unrecorded French artist who has now been added into the literature as below.

The sitter is wearing a military uniform, but his identity is not known. The uniform is well detailed, especially on the buttons and epaulettes.
