Hello Willie

Sorry, I forgot to say the years are about 1720, as the year of the building end of the palace Upper Belvedere is 1722.

 The word of the flat thin figures is marvellous. You collect informations about your littler characters and many people come and friendly help you in your quest.
Thanks !
However, despite the willingness the answers are sometimes not totally right. For the picture given by Bob, the featured charachter is Emperor Karl the 6th. For the one by Eric, this is an other set by Kovar : Prince Eugen receives the order of the Golden Fleece. In these two cases, the servants can not be the ones of the prince.
Here is a drawing by A Wilke of  a drum of Eugen's dragon regiment. Are the dress colours the same as the livery or just the reversed ones of the regiment (red with black cuff) ?

Ok looked at my books on costumes and fashion and did not come up with any thing on male staff. I did came up with  parlourmaids  1735-1745. What years are talking about. ??? Willie

Could it not be a good idea to ask Kovar about it? He is a friendly and helpful person.

I believe this is his coat of arms. Can't find anything on livery however.

Richard posted this topic which was having issues displaying and I have corrected -


Hello All

Kovar has edited a set named Prince Eugen gives a costume party. Amongst the characters there are some servants. For painting them, I would like to know the household livery of Prince Eugen.

Could anybody tell me what and how is this livery ?

Richard
