The artist is only known by the initials (H. Y.) which appear on this painting from 1837 showing a young, beautiful, and refined Mrs. Bru, canteen in the 7th Hussar Regiment, dressed in a braided dolman wearing a black hat with the "marinière", as well as garance pants completed with a dark green skirt matched with boots sporting long spurs in a scene far from the reality of her dangerous life.
