about this artwork

The Musketeers of the Guard were a junior unit, initially of roughly company strength, of the military branch of the Royal Household. They were created in 1622 when Louis XIII furnished a company of light cavalry (the “carabiniers”, created by Louis’ father Henry IV) with muskets.

Musketeers fought in battle both on foot as infantry and on horseback as dragoons. At the Battle of Fontenoy in 1745 the King’s Musketeers served as regular cavalry, charging British infantry with drawn swords.
