facing left in blue uniform with silver lacing and yellow collar, black cravat, wearing a tarleton helmet with white and red plumes and leopardskin turban, ivory
Christie's London. A surprising price for this good miniaturist who was however not famous as Cosway, Engleheart or Smart. Freese had the habit of drawing rather long noses and broad eyes to his sitters as in this portrait which carried a high pre-sale estimate of £ 6,000.
