Leading the way, the Hussar was a decorated cavalry officer of many armies. This horseman is instantly recognisable for his embellished hat, as well as the shiny buttons on his coat and a finely trimmed moustache.

Inspired by the characters shown in the “Hussars on a Sortie” by August Macke. You can find it at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid.

The Hussar’s blue-stained solid ash body is elaborately embellished with solid brass straps and nails. His matching hat in blue stained solid ash wood is also embellished with a solid brass banding and a decorative shield and finished with a red leather “bag” and brown leather chin strap. The Hussar is part of a series of characters created from a painting by famous artists.
