Description: A profile head and shoulders view of a bearded man, his eyes closed, wearing a Scottish bonnet, possibly the uniform of the 74th (Highland) Regiment The identity of 'Bruce" (probably a surname) is not certain. However his Scottish bonnet suggests a connection with one of the Highland regiments, and the unknown officer who made these drawings mentions the 74th Regiment in an earlier drawing. Major William West James Bruce was with the 74th Regiment in the 1850s and by 1865 was with the 94th Regiment. He is shown as an older man with white beard and hair and this would make him an appropriate age to fit the identity. Other Titles - Major Bruce Quantity: 1 watercolour(s).
