I originally thought this pietrait to be from the revolutionary war period but the hat didn't match the period. So I started looking at other uniforms from later periods and I noticed that it falls more in line with uniforms from the war of 1812. There is a name written on the bottom and it says George Washington Jaques. I can't make out what other words say as it is faded. That doesn't mean they arent readable, I just can't see what it says. I also have a army discharge certificate from a relative of his dated 1864 with a name David Jaques who was with the 1st engineers of new york. There is a family lineage that was well taken care of and preserved by a family and eventually someone just let it go and forgot about it. It appears it is a drawing done in water colors. Maybe you can give more info regarding the date and value?

I bought a storage at auction and this along with many other documents from 3 family names are in this box, Watt, Jacques and vorhees .
