Info:  Two cavalry regiments of the British Army have been numbered the 15th Regiment of Light Dragoons: Duke of Cumberland's Regiment of Light Dragoons, raised in 1746 and disbanded in 1749 and the 15th The King's Hussars, raised in 1759, redesignated a Hussar regiment in 1807.
The 15th The King's Hussars was a cavalry regiment in the British Army. First raised in 1759, it saw service over two centuries, including the First World War, before being amalgamated with the 19th Royal Hussars into the 15th/19th The King's Royal Hussars in 1922.
In 1832 French portraitist Alexandre-Jean Dubois Drahonet was commissioned by William IV to paint one hundred pictures illustrating the uniform of the British Army.
The picture is from that series and shows Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Routledge O'Donnell of the 15th (The King's) Hussars.
Drahonet depicts ODonnell in the dress worn by Officers during royal receptions known as Levées. The red black-plume shako was still worn, but the rest of the uniform varied significantly: red Levée pantaloons were stipulated, as were long laced boots and a dark blue, rather than red, pelisse. A short curved sabre known as a Mamluke sword had to be carried, and much of the ornamentation and detailing was silver rather than gold.
