Cornet (later Captain) Frederick Thomas Farquharson of Eastbury Dorset: 7th Hussars, 1836. Oil on canvas, signed and dated lower left ‘E T Parris 1836/ First Painter to/ the Queen’, by Edmund Thomas Parris (1793-1873), 1836. Half-length portrait, facing a quarter to left, with pelisse over shoulder and shako under right arm. Inscription top left as title. At the time that this portrait was painted in 1836, Farquharson was a cornet, so it is likely that the inscription on the painting was added later. The full title of the regiment was the 7th (The Queen's Own) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons (Hussars).
