Description from ebay -
Original Oil Portrait of Civil War General E.L. Cain
1868 Dated, Framed Oil Portrait of General E.L. Cain, Chief Officer of the 10th Cavalry,
Extremely Fine.
3.25” x 2.75” (oval) with the integral hanger still attached. Painted on artist’s card
stock. Cain is shown in uniform with a full beard. He is identified on the back of the
portrait by the unnamed artist, who added the date “Nov. 3, 1868.” An interesting,
one-of-a-kind piece that should meshes nicely with the collecting of CDV’s and Civil War
images.
