Is this really Oliver De Lancey snr?

[edit]

The uniform depicted here is late 1770s-early 1780s (low collar), the sitter a middle-aged man. Embroidered epaulettes of a General, paired buttons of a Major General. This fits far better with Oliver snr than with his son. It's very common for miniatures to be misidentified in families. Does anyone else know more? ˜˜˜˜ Silverwhistle (talk) 09:48, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
